Abstract
Using phase-equivalent supersymmetric partner potentials, a general result from the inverse problem in quantum scattering theory is illustrated, i.e., bound-state properties cannot be extracted from the phase shifts of a single partial wave, as a matter of principle. In particular, recent -matrix analyses of the system, extracting the asymptotic normalization constant of the subthreshold state , from the elastic-scattering phase shifts and bound-state energy, are shown to be unreliable. In contrast, this important constant in nuclear astrophysics can be deduced from the simultaneous analysis of the partial waves in a simplified potential model. A new supersymmetric inversion potential and existing models give .
