Asymptotic Expansion for the Wave Function in a one-dimensional Model of Inelastic Interaction

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider a two-body quantum system in dimension one composed by a test particle interacting with an harmonic oscillator placed at the position a>0a>0. At time zero the test particle is concentrated around the position R0R_0 with average velocity ±v0\pm v_0 while the oscillator is in its ground state. In a suitable scaling limit, corresponding for the test particle to a semi-classical regime with small energy exchange with the oscillator, we give a complete asymptotic expansion of the wave function of the system in both cases R0<aR_0 <a and R0>aR_0 >a.
