Abstract

We suggest that Gautam and Angom [Eur. Phys. J. D 56, 173 (2010)] underestimated the influence of the van der Waals dispersion forces at long range on their calculated low energy scattering parameters and we provide numerical evidence in support. We also provide a simple proof of the relation between s-wave and p-wave scattering parameters and we comment briefly on the semiclassical formula derived by these authors.
