Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the theory of Fano resonances, with participants seeking resources for a more comprehensive understanding of the topic. The scope includes theoretical descriptions and references to literature, as well as the broader implications of Fano resonances across various fields of physics and engineering.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in understanding the original paper by U. Fano and seeks more pedagogical resources.
  • Another participant notes that the citation of "the paper" lacks specificity and suggests that understanding the motivation behind the interest in Fano resonances would be beneficial.
  • A participant clarifies that they are referring to Fano's original paper on the effects of configuration interaction.
  • One participant shares a link to a compendium on the topic, indicating the extensive nature and interest in Fano resonances.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for better resources and clarification regarding Fano resonances, but there is no consensus on specific materials or the motivations behind the interest in the topic.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the need for clearer citations and the potential for varying interpretations of Fano resonances across different fields, but does not resolve these issues.

Good evening.
I wanted to study the theory about Fano resonances. I tried to read the paper but it doesn't seem very pedagogical to me and I coudn't understand all the details. Are there any notes or any good book where I can find a more precise theoretical description?
Thank you

Fano resonances show up in almost every branch of physics...also EE and probably ME. So it would be helpful to know what motivates this interest.

Yes sorry.. the paper I'm talking about is the original one from Fano,
U. Fano, "Effects of Configuration Interaction on Intensities and Phase Shifts", PR 124, 6 (1961).

For now I only want to study the theory to understand all the physics behind, is for this that I wrote this post!
