If the potential <math> V \!</math> is spherical symmetric we can use the equation:
The potential <math> V \!</math> is spherically symmetric, so that

:<math> f_{born}(\theta) = - \frac{2m}{\hbar^2} \int_0^\infin dr' V(r') \frac{\sin(qr')}{qr'} {r'}^2 </math>
Substituting in the given potential, we obtain


<math> f_{\text{Born}}(\theta) = - \frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q} \int_0^\infin dr'\, r' \sin(qr') e^{-r'/a}. </math>


So,
Integrating by parts, we obtain


: <math> f_{born}(\theta) = - \frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q} \int_0^\infin r' \sin(qr') e^{-\frac{r'}{a}} dr' </math>

Solving this integral by parts,
 
 
: <math>  
\begin{align}
\begin{align}
f_{born}(\theta)  
f_{\text{Born}}(\theta)
&= - \frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q} \frac{\partial}{\partial q} \int_0^\infin \cos(qr') e^{-\frac{r'}{a}} dr'    \\
&= -\frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q}\frac{\partial}{\partial q}\int_0^\infin dr'\,\cos(qr')e^{-r'/a} \\
&= - \frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q} \frac{\partial}{\partial q} Re\left[ \int_0^\infin e^{iqr'} e^{-\frac{r'}{a}} dr' \right] \\
&= -\frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q}\frac{\partial}{\partial q}\Re e\left (\int_0^\infin dr'\,e^{iqr'}e^{-r'/a}\right ) \\
&= - \frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q} \frac{\partial}{\partial q} Re\left[ \frac { e^{(iq - \frac{1}{a})r'} }{iq - \frac{1}{a}} \right]_{_0}^{^\infin} \\
&= -\frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q}\frac{\partial}{\partial q}\Re e\left [\frac{e^{(iq - 1/a)r'}}{iq - 1/a}\right ]_{0}^{\infin} \\
&= -\frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q} \frac{\partial}{\partial q} Re\left[ \frac { 1 }{\frac{1}{a} + iq }\right]
&= -\frac{2mV_0}{\hbar^2 q}\frac{\partial}{\partial q}\Re e\left [\frac {1}{1/a + iq}\right ] \\
\end{align}
&= \frac{4mV_0a^3}{\hbar^2}\left (\frac{1}{1+q^2a^2}\right )^2.

So, the differential cross section,


The differential cross section is therefore
