What Does FBA Stand For?

FBA stands for First Born Approximation

FBA, or First Born Approximation, is a mathematical method used in quantum mechanics and scattering theory. It provides a framework for approximating the scattering amplitude of a wave interacting with a potential by considering the first-order term in a perturbative expansion. This approach is valuable in analyzing complex scattering processes where the interactions can be treated as small perturbations, offering insights into the behavior of particles and waves in various physical systems.
