Nucleon-nucleon scattering with the Complex Scaling Method and realistic interactions

Abstract

We demonstrate the validity of the complex scaling method for realistic strong, non-local, nucleon- nucleon interactions by comparing the deuteron bound state and nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shifts with results from other high-precision methods. This opens a pathway for the simultaneous ab initio solutions of the nuclear bound and scattering problems within a unified framework.
