Partial-wave analysis, in the context of quantum mechanics, refers to a technique for solving scattering problems by decomposing each wave into its constituent angular-momentum components and solving using boundary conditions. Partial wave analysis is typically useful for low energy scattering where only a few angular momentum components dominate.
