Abstract

The irregular radial Coulomb wave function is expanded in a convergent series of Bessel functions in which the coefficients are expressed in powers of the energy and the argument of the Bessel functions depends on the radius only and not on the energy. This formulation is suitable for low-energy particles. The corresponding expansion for the regular Coulomb function can be deduced from previous work by Tricomi.
