Abstract

If Wigner's R-matrix theory of reactions is used as a starting point, and specialised to the case of atomic physics, the results of multi-channel quantum-defect theory appear after a brief straightforward analysis. No detailed study of the analytic properties of Coulomb functions is needed.
