Abstract
Compound resonances in nucleon-nucleus scattering are related to the discrete spectrum of the target. Such resonances can be studied in a unified and general framework by a scattering model that uses Sturmian expansions of multichannel interactions between the colliding nuclei. Associated with such expanded multichannel interactions are algebraic multichannel scattering matrices. Their explicit structure not only facilitates extraction of the sub-threshold (compound nucleus) bound state spin-parity values and energies but also readily gives the energies and widths of resonances in the scattering regime. We exploited also the ability of the Sturmian-expansion method to deal with non-local int..
