Abstract

The coupled-channel R-matrix method on a Lagrange mesh is a very simple approximation of the R-matrix method with a basis. The mesh points are zeros of shifted Legendre polynomials. Bound-state energies and scattering matrices are easily calculated with small numbers of potential values at mesh points. A test with an exactly solvable two-channel potential provides an excellent accuracy over a broad energy range with only 30 mesh points. The efficiency of the method is illustrated for a single channel on α + α scattering and for two channels on the deuteron ground-state energy and on nucleon-nucleon scattering.
