Abstract
The theory of nuclear reaction has two basic methods at its disposal at the present time. These differ from previous methods by their generality, high degree of rigor, and convenience in the description of many very different nuclear reactions. The first of these methods is the quantum-mechanical theory of collisions, or the “formal theory of scattering” which takes the form of integral equations and makes use of integral operators and Green functions. The second method is of a similar type and may be called the “formal theory of resonance nuclear reactions” including, in particular, the so-called R -matrix theory.
