Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the wave functions and the scattering phase shifts of the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation for spin-0 (scalar) particles with the Hulthén potential for any J state by using an approximation for the centrifugal term. Special cases of the results are also studied.
