This lecture covers the principles of scattering theory in quantum mechanics, focusing on the interaction between particles and potential barriers, tunneling phenomena, metastable states, and the concept of transmission probability. It also discusses the differential cross-section and total cross-section in scattering processes, with examples from point-like particle scattering and Coulomb potential scattering.
