COLOSS: Complex-scaled Optical and couLOmb Scattering Solver
Description
We introduce COLOSS, a program designed to address the scattering problem using a bound-state technique known as complex scaling. In this method, the oscillatory boundary conditions of the wave function are transformed into exponentially decaying ones, accommodating the long-range Coulomb interaction. The program implements the general local optical potential and the Perey-Buck non-local optical potential, with all potential parameters included in a well-designed input format for ease of use. The design offers users direct access to compute S-matrices and cross-sections for scattering processes involving a projectile of any spin interacting with a spin-0 target. We provide thorough discussions on the precision of Lagrange functions and their benefits in evaluating matrix elements. Additionally, COLOSS incorporates two distinct rotation methods, making it adaptable to potentials without analytical expressions. Comparative results demonstrate that COLOSS achieves high accuracy when compared with the direct integration method, Numerov, underscoring its utility and effectiveness in scattering calculations.
