On the theory of polarization in nuclear reactions and scattering
A general treatment of polarization effects in two particle reactions is given. The treatment is in close analogy to the procedure presented by Welton, but treats the long ranged part of the Coulomb interaction separately. In this way the difficulties due to the slow convergence of the partial wave expansion for the Coulomb scattering amplitude are avoided. The results are readily applicable to scattering processes of both charged and uncharged particles.
