Why this study?
• Weakly bound radioactive nuclei now formed as RIBs
• Their low excitation spectra have particle emission resonant states.
Questions: with weakly bound nuclei in scattering (beam/ta rget)
• What effect do such particle-emitting states have on cross sections?
• What physical considerations
need be taken in modelling these resonances?
We seek answers using:
• The MCAS method is used to solve Lippmann-Schwinger equations
Currently built for n+A and α+A coupled-channel systems.
• Compound system spectra found:
all bound and (low excitation) resonant states of the cluste r.
• The S-matrix is formed −→ elastic and reaction cross sections.

• Pauli principle: coupled-channels and local interactions — can violate P.P.
• Overcome: use orthogonalizing pseudo-potentials ( OPPs)
Vcc′(p,q) −→ Vcc′(p,q) + λAc(p)Ac′(q)
Ac(p) : bound state functions for occupied orbits (in Vc,c)
• Effect: New Hamiltonian has no solutions involving occupied states
• If a target state is a resonance: Replace excitation energy ( Ec) with
Ec −→ Ec +∆c(E) + i12U(E)Γc
where the shift that restores causality is given by
∆c(E) =Γc

Why the scale factor, U(E)?
• Lorentzian forms: can lead to non-physical features in results:
1. Reaction cross sections
E → 0 (scattering threshold) may diverge, and
2. bound states in the compound system spectrum
may have spurious widths.
• Cause of problems: Lorentzians are non-zero below the threshold.
• Remedy: use a scaling function on the Lorentzian form.
• Restore causality: Add the energy-dependent shift, ∆c(E)
• Scale function conditions:
1. U(E) = 0 and dU(E)dE
= 0 for E ≤ 0
2. U(E) → 0 as E → ∞3. U(Ec) = 1

Conclusions:MCAS: developed to solve coupled-channel two-nucleus cluster pr oblems
This method:
• accounts for target state particle instability
• is free of any unphysical behaviour at the scattering threshold
• satifies the Pauli principle (via OPP)
• conserves causality .
• allows scaling the usual Lorentz form of a resonant target state
(to meet physical requirements while preserving causality )
• yields compund spectra and scattering cross sections
(Results are sensitive to target state particle instabilit y)
Structure and scattering involving weakly-bound RIBs will be influenced.

What are Sturmians?
• Two body Hamiltonian H = H0 +V
• Standard Schr odinger equation (E−H0)ΨE = VΨE
(Here E is the spectral variable, and ΨE is the eigenstate)
• Sturmians are the eigensolutions of (E−H0)Φi(E) = V
ηi(E)Φi(E)
(Here E is a parameter, and ηi(E) is a potential scale)
• Spectrum consists of all rescalings that give solution to th e equation
(for a given energy and well-defined boundary conditions).
– The energy E here can be chosen as any useable value
– But of practical importance: use a negative value.
– A single value suffices: the objective is to define a basis exp ansion set
(for use with an energy independent set of interactions)
