Abstract
The range of applicability of the Born approximation is evaluated, and represented graphically, as a preliminary to the application of frame-transformation theory beyond this range. The contribution of all partial waves beyond a lower cutoff has been thus evaluated, and is discussed explicitly.Keywords
