The relativistic J-matrix theory of scattering: an analytic solution

The relativistic J-matrix is investigated in the case of Coulomb-free scattering for a general short-range spin-dependent perturbing potential and in two different L2 bases. The resulting recursion relation of the reference problem, in this case, has an analytic solution. The non-relativistic limit is obtained and shown to be identical to the familiar non-relativistic J-matrix. Scattering examples are given to verify the non-relativistic limit and calculate the relativistic effects in the phase shift.
