Abstract

We consider Levinson’s theorem for the nonlocal Saito potential. We find that the phase of the Jost function gives a correct
result for the zero-energy phase shift of  associated with the additional node in the scattering wavefunction. This analysis
takes into account the zero-energy continuum bound state of the potential. A comparison is given with previous results
which do not consider the possibility that such a state is present.
