Abstract

An investigation is made of the effect of a non-linear addition to Schrödinger's equation for s-wave scattering of a beam of particles by a finite region of potential energy. The non-linear region is bounded and of an especially simple form so that an analytic solution is possible. The R-function for the problem is explicitly constructed and some related formulae such as the resonant energies and the scattering length are given. The analytical nature of R as a function of the momentum considered as a complex variable is discussed in relation to causality.
