The scattering amplitude for rationally extended shape invariant Eckart potentials

Abstract

We consider the rationally extended exactly solvable Eckart potentials which exhibit extended shape invariance property. These potentials are isospectral to the conventional Eckart potential. The scattering amplitude for these rationally extended potentials is calculated analytically for the generalized mth (m=1,2,3,.) case by considering the asymptotic behavior of the scattering state wave functions which are written in terms of some new polynomials related to the Jacobi polynomials. As expected, in the m=0 limit, this scattering amplitude goes over to the scattering amplitude for the conventional Eckart potential. © 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
