Abstract
Differential cross sections for various reactions in the 6-, 7-, 8- and 10-nucleon systems, obtained by using multiconfiguration resonating-group calculations, are compared with experimental results. These comparisons show that the calculation can explain quite well the general features of the measured angular distributions, such as the cross-section rise at backward angles, the angular positions of cross-section maxima and minima, and so on. Discrepancies with experiment, none serious, can all be readily and satisfactorily explained. These findings, together with previous discussions on level spectra and scattering cross sections, indicate that there is now enough evidence to confidently support the assertion that the resonating-group method is a sound microscopic method built on firm physical foundation, and can be successfully used to treat nuclear bound-state, scattering, and reaction problems from a unified and consistent viewpoint.
