Phys. Rev. A 65, 042719 (2002) [4 pages]Status of the convergent close-coupling method within the framework of the rigorous Coulomb scattering theoryReceived 22 October 2001; published 2 April 2002 The convergent close-coupling method widely used now for calculations of charged particles scattering amplitudes is considered from the point of view of the rigorous many-body Coulomb scattering theory. It is shown that an approximate scattering amplitude calculated within the frame of the method does not converge to a solution of the corresponding Lippmann-Schwinger equation. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
