description

Modifications of stationary momentum space scattering theory, necessitated by the presence of Coulomb forces, are described, both in the formalism which uses unscreened Coulomb potentials and in the screening and renormalization approach. Thereby, emphasis is laid on exposing the conceptual differences, as well as the different, presently achieved status of applicability. Some of the unresolved problems in both methods are enumerated.
