We study a quasi-one-dimensional quantum wire in the presence of an impurity and spin-orbit interaction. We solve the problem using a perturbative approach in order to obtain an effective Hamiltonian for the scattering problem. We solve that the scattering problem via the Lippmann-Schwinger equation at the leading order in spin-orbit. We focus on the scattering matrix of a spin-dependent transport setup and elucidate what we believe to be a suitable set of experiments aimed at a scattering matrix tomography.
