Choose the even-channel scattering phase shift convention for . The delta potential derivative jump gives
so, choosing the branch that tends to zero as ,
An odd scattering eigenfunction is : it vanishes at the interaction and its derivative is continuous, so it acquires no scattering phase shift. These parity channels, with the bound state, give the continuum part of the spectral resolution of a quantum propagator.
