Abstract

The effective range theory due to Bethe for the elastic scattering of electrons by a potential behaving asymptotically like a Coulomb field is employed to derive an exact relation between the phase shift and the quantum defect. For zero energy electrons this relation reduces to the formula obtained by Seaton.
