Abstract: (APS)
In this paper, we develop Schiff's discretization procedure for calculating the phase shifts in the λφ4 model in (D+1)-dimensional space-time (D>0) with the Gaussian wave-functional approach. In 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions, the phase shifts are negative, which indicates the interaction between two pions is repulsive. In 3+1 dimensions, the phase shifts vanish. We also discuss the dependences of the phase shifts upon the scattering energy in detail.
