The discussion centers on the semi-classical model of nucleon-nucleon scattering, specifically addressing the angular momentum representation. The participant argues that the equation ##l \hbar = mvR## is incorrect and proposes that the correct formulation is ##mvR = \sqrt{l(l+1)} \hbar##. This correction is supported by references from "Introduction to Nuclear Physics" by Krane, highlighting the need for accurate angular momentum representation in nuclear physics.
PREREQUISITESStudents and researchers in nuclear physics, physicists specializing in quantum mechanics, and educators looking to clarify concepts of angular momentum in scattering theory.
In the semi-classical model, you take angular momentum to be a classical vector, so its length ##\ell##.JD_PM said:
