What Does CPE Stand For?
CPE stands for Coulomb Wave Plane Wave Description With Effective Screening
CPE, or Coulomb Wave Plane Wave Description With Effective Screening, is a theoretical framework used in quantum mechanics and scattering theory. It combines the Coulomb wave function, which describes the behavior of charged particles under the influence of an inverse-square force, with a plane wave representation to simplify complex quantum interactions. The effective screening aspect accounts for the influence of surrounding charges, enhancing the accuracy of models in predicting scattering processes and particle interactions in various physical systems.
