Abstract
We discuss a theory for the interaction of a quantum target with a pulsed m atter beam. We find that coherent transitions in the target due to The puls ed nature of the beam can qualitatively change scattering probabilities fro m those of a continuous beam. In this paper, we concentrate on the perturba tive limit and show the connection to classical intuition.
