What Does ADW Stand For?

ADW stands for Asymptotic Distorted Wave

ADW, or Asymptotic Distorted Wave, refers to a mathematical framework used in quantum mechanics to describe the scattering of particles. This approach incorporates asymptotic methods to analyze the wave functions of particles at large distances from the interaction region, allowing for accurate predictions of scattering processes involving complex interaction potentials. The ADW framework is particularly valuable in many-body problems and high-energy physics, providing insights into the behavior of particles under various conditions.
