Abstract: We consider the scattering of nonrelativistic particles in three dimensions by a contact potential $Omegahba{r}^{2}delta(r)/2mu{r}^{a}lpha$ which is defined as the $ao0$ limit of $Omegahba{r}^{2}delta(r-a)/2mu{r}^{a}lpha$. It is surprising that it gives a nonvanishing cross section when $alpha=1$ and $Omega=-1$. When the contact potential is approached by a spherical square well potential instead of the above spherical shell one, one obtains basically the same result except that the parameter $Omega$ that gives a nonvanishing cross section is different. Similar problems in two and one dimensions are studied and results of the same nature are obtained.
