“…Remark: Let us note that the phase-shifts of formula (20) do not satisfy the asymptotic behaviour, for large values of ℓ, prescribed by formula (14). This derives from the fact that the amplitude given by formula (16), and, accordingly, the phase-shifts given by formula (20), are approximations which are faithful only for small values of ℓ. These approximations, however, are acceptable at low energy where a few terms of the partial-wave expansion are sufficient to describe the scattering amplitude.…”
