Partial-wave analysis is a technique used in quantum mechanics and particle physics to study scattering processes and the behavior of wavefunctions. It involves decomposing a complex scattering amplitude into contributions from different angular momentum states, which correspond to various "partial waves." When particles interact, they can scatter at different angles and energies.
