OSTI ID:945141
We develop a new ab initio many-body approach capable of describing simultaneously both bound and scattering states in light nuclei, by combining the resonating-group method with the use of realistic interactions, and a microscopic and consistent description of the nucleon clusters. This approach preserves translational symmetry and Pauli principle. We present phase shifts for neutron scattering on {sup 3}H, {sup 4}He and {sup 10}Be and proton scattering on {sup 3,4}He, using realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials. Our A = 4 scattering results are compared to earlier ab initio calculations. We demonstrate that a proper treatment of the coupling to the n-{sup 10}Be continuum is essential to explain the parity-inverted ground state in {sup 11}Be.
