The wave function of the system is decomposed into angular-spin-isospin channels and the corresponding two dimensional spatial amplitudes are expanded in a correlated polynomial basis. For the scattering states, the complex form of the Kohn variational principle is used to determine the $S$--matrix. Special attention is given to the convergence pattern of the phase-shift and mixing parameters. The calculations have been performed using realistic local NN potentials and three-nucleon forces. Important features of the method are anomaly-free solutions and the low dimensionality of the matrices involved allowing for the inclusion of a large number of states. Very precise and stable numerical results have been obtained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-06-24T14:02:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Nk", "21.45.+v", "25.10.+s" ], "keywords": [ "complex kohn variational method", "n-d scattering", "realistic local nn potentials", "variational principle", "scattering states" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
