Abstract

An investigation of the problem of inelastic scattering process under the Coulomb Born approximation is given. Different approaches to calculate Coulomb wavefunctions in the momentum space representation are analyzed and a discussion of their existences in the generalized distribution sense is provided. Inokuti’s approach of finding the differential cross section in the momentum space representation under the Coulomb Born approximation is described and a different approach with an application of the Bremsstrahlung integral is developed and compared with Inokuti’s approach.
