Conclusions We found a geometric phase accompanying scattering state in a cyclic and adiabatic variation of external parameters which characterize an open system with a continuous energy spectrum. Adiabatic quantum pumping has a natural representation in terms of gauge fields defined on the space of system parameters. Scattering geometric phase & pumping geometric phase are both sides of a coin !!
