Abstract

The problem of causality in non-relativistic scattering where a bounded region of non-linear interaction occurs is re-examined in the context of a paper by Ebel. In the model considered it is shown that the acausal behaviour cannot be accounted for in the straightforward manner that is possible for an energy-dependent but linear potential which gives rise to a similar R-matrix.
