The scattering of nucleons by ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ is studied with the resonating-group method and a generator-coordinate technique. The result shows that, at relatively high energies, the knockout process contributes significantly to the scattering amplitude, while the pickup process is of minor importance.
