Abstract

A method is given for solving the inverse reaction problem to obtain complex potentials as in the optical model of the nucleus. The method reproduces reaction data to the accuracy with which the reaction matrix can be least squares fitted to a sum of simple poles. The method couples multichannel phase shifts in such a way as to give the correct complex single-channel phase shift.
