How to detect atomic forces?
A beam of particles is shot to a material.
After interacting with atomic forces, the particles scatter.
The number of particles scattered to different directions iscounted by detectors.
The potential energy of the atomic force space can berecovered from these scattering data.

The wave function
Schrödinger equation:
−∆u(x) + V (x)u(x) = k2u(x), x ∈ R3,
V (x) is the potential energy of the atomic force space, k isthe energy of the incoming particles.For V = 0 u(x) = eikr/r and u(x) = e−ikr/r , r = |x | aresolutions. The wave function U(x , t) = <(u(x)e−iωt )corresponds to outgoing, resp. incoming spherical wave.The Sommerfeld radiation condition

r(∂u∂r− iku
)= 0
excludes incoming spherical waves.

Uniqueness
There are slowly decaying transparent potentials for whichall δn = 0 (R. Newton 1961).
For exponentially decaying potentials the δn uniquelydetermine the potential q (Novikov 1988).
For general nonexponentially decaying potentialsuniqueness is still open.

Let k = 1.
Theorem (Ramm 1998.)
Let rq(r) ∈ L2(0,a), q = 0 for r > a and q has constant signon (a− δ, a) for some δ > 0. Then

So the support of the potential can be simply recoveredfrom phase shifts.

Theorem (H. 2010)
Let rq(r), rq∗(r) ∈ L1(0,∞) and a > 0. Now if q = q∗ a.e.on (a,∞) then F (t)− F ∗(t) is entire and

So if q increases, the phase shifts decrease. The precisedomain of δn for compactly supported potentials:
Theorem (H. 2007)
Let q(r) = 0 a.e for r > a and rq(r) ∈ L1(0,a). Then
δn−1(χ(0,a)) < δn(q) <∞, n ≥ 1

Let q ≥ 0, rq(r) ∈ L1(0, π/2), q = 0 for r > π/2. Then

Stronger than δ1 < δ0 + π/2. It turned out that
