Abstract: (APS)
A Laplace transform relation between the distribution function exp{−βH} in quantum statistical mechanics and the Green's function of the wave equation has been noted by Koppe. This relationship may be extended to the stationary-state scattering equation. General properties of the transformation are discussed. Applications to the evaluation of the virial coefficients are considered. A further application of the perturbation methods of Brueckner and his collaborators is described.
