Hello,

My question is about the calculation of phase shifts δl in scattering theory.
Some article mention that we can obtain phase shifts by numerically solving the radial Schrödinger equation but I'm not sure how to do it.
Do you know how to proceed? is there any code (python, c ++, ...) already written to do it?

Thanks in advance !
