Wave Packets & Cross Sections

Working notes from Phil's Berkeley years, partly typed and partly handwritten. They discuss treating incident particles as wave packets with strongly peaked momentum-space wavefunctions, then interpreting |T|^2 times phase space as a reaction probability. They cover a beam burst on a target, the standard cross section, the plane-wave limit, Fermi's Golden Rule, and an experimenter's luminosity integral. The handwritten pages are largely unreadable in the extracted text.
