Resonance Reactions Involving Dirac-Type Incident Particles

Abstract

An investigation has been made to determine whether the results of Wigner and Eisenbud can be extended to include the scattering of a particle which obeys a Dirac-type wave equation. It is found that no additional difficulties arise as a result of the use of Dirac particles, and that the treatment of Wigner and Eisenbud can be carried through step by step with relatively minor changes.
