A METHOD OF CALCULATING THE JOST FUNCTION FOR ANALYTIC POTENTIALS

A combination of the variable-constant and complex coordinate rotation methods is used to solve the two-body Schrödinger equation. The latter is replaced by a system of linear first-order differential equations, which enables one to perform direct calculation of the Jost function for all complex momenta of physical interest, including the spectral points corresponding to bound and resonance states. Explicit forms of the equations, appropriate for central, noncentral, and Coulomb-tailed potentials are given. Within the proposed method, the scattering, bound, virtual, and resonance state problems can be treated in a unified way. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by a numerical example.

Complex Conjugate Pairs in Stationary Sturmians

Sturmian eigenstates specified by stationary scattering boundary conditions are particularly useful in contexts such as forming simple separable two nucleon t matrices, and are determined via solution of generalised eigenvalue equation using real and symmetric matrices. In general, the spectrum of such an equation may contain complex eigenvalues. But to each complex eigenvalue there is a corresponding conjugate partner. In studies using realistic nucleon--nucleon potentials, and in certain positive energy intervals, these complex conjugated pairs indeed appear in the Sturmian spectrum. However, as we demonstrate herein, it is possible to recombine the complex conjugate pairs and corresponding states into a new, sign--definite pair of real quantities with which to effect separable expansions of the (real) nucleon--nucleon reactance matrices.
