Hello.
I have studied about DWBA (distorted wave born approximation).
But, I do not know the physical meaning of "DWBA without spin-orbit interaction".
I think, I can not understand about meaning of spin-orbit.
How can I understand "without spin-orbit intertaction".
Thanks.

What is spin-orbit interaction in general, without involvement in scattering theory?
 
Amm... I don't know exactly... maybe electromagnetic interaction?
 
Well, then I'm afraid you're reading things beyond your current education level. I suggest you pick a good book on Quantum Mechanics (Shankar, Zettili, Brandsden and Joachain) and go through until you reach the "spin-orbit interaction" part.
 
Thank you for advice.
 

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Thread 'Is Maxwell's electromagnetism an effective (field) theory?'

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
