The motivation for this is to supply the necessary theoretical tools to calculate scattering observables of these many-body systems. Concepts which are seemingly different for atomic/molecular scattering from those of nuclear systems, are shown to be the same once physical units such as energy and length are diligently clarified. Many-body resonances excited in nuclear systems are the same as those in atomic systems and come under the name 606 $aQuantum scattering 606 $aScattering (Physics) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aQuantum scattering. 615 0$aScattering (Physics) 676 $a539.7/58 676 $a539.758 700 $aCanto$b Luiz Felipe$0996621 701 $aHussein$b M.
