Abstract
We develop a Monte Carlo method without partial-wave decomposition for nuclear-reaction calculations. The nth order Born series for the T ma trix is simulated by averaging over n-step random walks in momentum sp ace. The Born series is summed by Pade transformation. We test the met hod in two applications; to nucleon-nucleon scattering and to low-ener gy pion-nucleus scattering. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V .
