✦ Synopsis

The separation method for calculating t,he nuclear reaction matrix that was presented by Moxzkowski and Scott. (1) has been investigated. Estimates are made which suggest that their dispersion, interference, and Pauli corrections are underestimated.

A modification in the treatment of these terms is presented that gives considerable improvement.

Our treatment' also permits good insight into the nature of the approximations.

The errors in the new method are discussed.

An alternat,ive approximat,ion that involves an iterat'ion of t,he dispersion correction is also suggested.
