In a scattering process, the final state is determined by an initial state and an S-matrix.
We focus on two-particle scattering processes and consider the entanglement between these particles.
For two types initial states; i.e., an unentangled state and an entangled one, we calculate perturbatively the change of entanglement entropy from the initial state to the final one.
Then we show a few examples in a field theory and in quantum mechanics.
