TO DEVELOP AND APPLY METHODS FOR COMPUTING NUCLEON-NUCLEUS SCATTERING AND DIRECT NUCLEONNUCLEUS REACTIONS (I.E., (N/P, G) AND (G,N/P) ) USING A SHELL MODEL FRAMEWORK. THE TARGET SYSTEMS WILL BE LIGHT NUCLIDES (UP THROUGH A=12) USING AB INITIO INTERACTIONS, SUCH AS THOSE DERIVED FROM CHIRAL EFFECTIVE FIELD THEORY, AND MEDIUM MASS NUCLIDES IN THE P- AND SD-SHELL, USING PHENOMENOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS. THE MEASURE OF SUCCESS WILL BE COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENT AND OTHER MICROSCOPIC METHODS. BY GOING TO A SHELL MODEL FRAMEWORK, WHERE ANTISYMMETRY IS AUTOMATICALLY ENFORCED, AND WHERE WE HAVE A LARGE CORPUS OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE, THIS WORK WILL LAY THE FOUNDATIONS FOR BOTH HEAVIER TARGET NUCLIDES AS WELL AS PREPARING FOR MORE COMPLICATED PROJECTILES, SUCH AS 2H OR 3HE.
