Abstract

This paper addresses the scattering of a beam of charged particles by an infinitely long magnetic string in the context of the hydrodynamical approach to quantum mechanics. The scattering is qualitatively analyzed by two approaches. In the first approach, the quantum flow is studied via a one-parameter family of complex potentials. In the second approach, the qualitative theory of planar differential equations is used to obtain a one-parameter family of Hamiltonian functions which determine the phase portraits of the systems.
