Abstract
The semiclassical theory of potential scattering is derived from Feynman's path-integral formulation of quantum mechanics. Since the partial-wave expansion is avoided, the results are applicable to scattering by a noncentral field. Special attention is given to the conditions for validity of the semiclassical approximation.Keywords
