(1) U is bounded, and the local singularities of F and Q2 are controlled in a suitable sense by the kinetic energy, (2) U, Q, and F tend to zero at infinity faster than [x[-1. We define H by a method of quadratic forms and derive the usual results of scattering theory, namely: the absolutely continuous spectrum is [0, oe) and the singular continuous spectrum is empty, the wave operators exist and are asymptotically complete. This enlarges the class of already studied strongly oscillating potentials that give rise to the scattering and spectral properties mentioned above.
