Abstract
The scattering of nucleons by is studied with the resonating-group method. The wave function used is a translationally invariant antisymmetrized product of single-particle wave functions of configuration in a harmonic-oscillator well having an appropriately chosen width parameter. A generator-coordinate technique is employed to facilitate the computation of the nonlocal interaction between the nucleon and the nucleus. This technique is discussed in some detail in order to demonstrate its utility in a nuclear problem involving a relatively large number of nucleons. Calculated results are compared with experimental data over a wide range of energies, and it is found that the agreement is in general quite satisfactory. Also, the result shows that in this particular problem the heavy-particle pickup process, which is properly taken into consideration by the use of a totally antisymmetric wave function, has a relatively small contribution.
