On a general relationship between solutions of alternative sets of equations for rearrangement channel <i>T</i> operators

Abstract

A general relationship between the solutions for two alternative sets of coupled equations for channel T operators describing rearrangement scattering is derived. The relation involves analogously defined channel K operators for rearrangement scattering. A symmetrized form of the relationship is also derived that can account for differing numerical results obtained in recent coupled T equation studies of e-H scattering.
