Solving the Charged-Particle Scattering Problem by Wave Packet Continuum Discretization

We generalize our previously developed packet continuum discretization method to take the long-range Coulomb repulsion in the charged-particle interaction into account. We derive an analytic finite-dimensional approximation for the exact Coulomb resolvent in the basis of stationary Coulomb wave packets. In the suggested approach, determining the so-called additional partial scattering phase shifts that appear because of the additional short-range interaction reduces to simple matrix algebra, and the related calculations can be performed using an arbitrary complete $L_2$ basis.
