Monte carlo methods for nuclear reactions

We develop a Monte Carlo method without partial-wave decomposition for nuclear-reaction calculations. The nth order Born series for the T matrix is simulated by averaging over n-step random walks in momentum space. The Born series is summed by Padé transformation. We test the method in two applicati...

Description
Summary:We develop a Monte Carlo method without partial-wave decomposition for nuclear-reaction calculations. The nth order Born series for the T matrix is simulated by averaging over n-step random walks in momentum space. The Born series is summed by Padé transformation. We test the method in two applications; to nucleon-nucleon scattering and to low-energy pion-nucleus scattering.
