Homework Equations


This is a calculation about differential cross section of Yukawa potential.

The Attempt at a Solution


I can't understand how that highlighted part can be -1 ,
we don't know if the parenthesis term (iq-1/a) is negative or positive tho.

Subtracting the value at r=0 would give you -1. For the value at r=∞ to disappear, we must have | e(iq - 1/a) | < 1.
==========================================
I don't know why | iq - 1/a | should be smaller than 1 ?

Sorry. You may have looked at my post as I was correcting it. | e(iq-1/a)r | = | (e(iq-1/a))r | = | (e(iq-1/a)) |r = | (e(-1/a)) |r= 1/| (e(1/a)) |r

I appreciate for your quick reply
