Shell Model in the Complex Energy Plane
arXiv:0810.2728 · doi:10.1088/0954-3899/36/1/013101
Abstract
This work reviews foundations and applications of the complex-energy continuum shell model that provides a consistent many-body description of bound states, resonances, and scattering states. The model can be considered a quasi-stationary open quantum system extension of the standard configuration interaction approach for well-bound (closed) systems.
