Abstract

We present the first ab initio many-body application of the Efros method for scattering utilizing the harmonic oscillator expansion of the continuum wave function. We select single-channel nα scattering and, using low-lying eigenstates from no-core shell model (NCSM) calculations, we obtain well-converged scattering results that are in reasonable agreement with experiment. The results demonstrate that the Efros method is computationally practical and promising for further ab initio many-body studies of nuclear reactions.
