Scattering solutions to non-local Hamiltonians in terms of generalized Bessel-Neumann series

We develop and test a method for the numerical solution of partial-wave scattering equations with partially non-local potentials, as arising in microscopic theories of the nucleus-nucleus interaction. The method is complementary to the usual Robertson discretization in that the amount of computation required decreases with increasing energy. It is based on a Bessel-Neumann expansion of the x-space scattering wave function and on its analogue for Coulomb functions. As a by-product, we obtain a new, general representation of the half-off-shell t-matrix and discuss the class of special functions arising in this context.
