Let the angle-integrated cross sections from entrance channel $c$ to exit channel $c'$ with total angular momentum $J$ be represented by $\sigma_{cc'}$. This cross section is given in terms of the scattering matrix $U_{cc'}$ as

Note that $w_c$ is zero for non-Coulomb channels. (Details for the charged-particle case are presented in Section II.C.4.\ref{}) The spin statistical factor $g_{J\alpha}$ is given by

Here again, $w_c$ is zero for non-Coulomb channels, and the potential scattering phase shifts for non-Coulomb interactions $\phi_c$ are defined in many references (e.g., \cite{lane_thomas_1958}) and shown in Table \ref{}. The matrix $W$ in Eq. \ref{eq:scat-matrix} is related to the R-matrix (in matrix notation with indices suppressed) via

W = P^{1/2}\left(I-RL\right)^{-1}\left(I-RL^*\right)P^{-1/2} \:.

Formulae for a particular cross section type can be derived by summing over the terms in Eq. (II A.1)\ref{eq:sigma-ccprime}. For the total cross section, the sum over all possible exit channels and all spin groups gives
\begin{equation}\label{eq:sigma-tot}
\begin{aligned}
\sigma^{total} & = \sum_{\substack{incident \\ channels \\ c }} \sum_{\substack{all \\ channels \\ c' }} \sum_J \frac{\pi}{k_\alpha^2}g_\alpha|\delta_{cc'}-U_{cc'}|^2 \\
& = \frac{\pi}{k_\alpha^2} \sum_{J}g_J \sum_{\substack{incident \\ channels \\ c }} \sum_{\substack{all \\ channels \\ c' }} \left( \delta_{cc'}-U_{cc'}\delta_{cc'}-U^*_{cc'}\delta_{cc'}+\left|U_{cc'}\right|^2 \right) \\
& = \frac{2\pi}{k_\alpha^2} \sum_J g_J \sum_{\substack{incident \\ channels \\ c }} \left( 1-\text{Re}\left(U_{cc}\right) \right).
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
For non-charged incident particles, the elastic (or scattering) cross section is given by
\begin{equation}\label{eq:sigma-scat}
\sigma_{\alpha\alpha} = \frac{\pi}{k_\alpha^2} \sum_J g_J \sum_{\substack{ c=incident \\ channel }} \left( 1-2\text{Re}\left(U_{cc}\right) + \sum_{\substack{c'=incident \\ channel }} \left|U_{cc'}\right|^2 \right).
\end{equation}
Similarly, the cross section for any non-elastic reaction can be written
\begin{equation}\label{eq:sigma-reaction}
\sigma_\alpha^{reaction} = \frac{\pi}{k_\alpha^2} \sum_J g_J \sum_{\substack{ c=incident \\ channel }} \sum_{\substack{ c'=reaction \\ channel }} \left| U_{cc'} \right|^2.
\end{equation}
In particular, the capture cross section could be written as the difference between the total and all
other cross sections,
\begin{equation}\label{eq:sigma-capture}
\sigma_\alpha^{reaction} = \frac{\pi}{k_\alpha^2} \sum_J g_J \sum_{\substack{ c=incident \\ channel }} \left( 1 - \sum_{\substack{ c'=all\: channels \\ except\: capture }} \left| U_{cc'} \right|^2 \right).
\end{equation}
(This form will be used later, in Section II.B.1.a, when the capture channels are treated in an
approximate fashion.)

\subsection{R-Matrix and A-Matrix Equations}\label{subsec:r-matrix-a-matrix}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The R-matrix was introduced in Eq. \ref{eq:W-matrix} as
\begin{equation} % don't ref, give \ref{eq:W-matrix}
W = P^{1/2}\left(I-RL\right)^{-1}\left(I-RL^*\right)P^{-1/2} \:,
\end{equation}
but the formula for the R-matrix was not given there. If $\lambda$ represents a particular resonance (or energy level), then the general form for the R-matrix is
\begin{equation}\label{eq:r-matrix}
R_{cc'} = \sum_\lambda \frac{ \gamma_{\lambda c}\gamma_{\lambda c'} }{ E_\lambda - E } \delta_{J,J'} \:,
\end{equation}
where $E_\lambda$ represents the energy of the resonance, and the reduced width amplitude $\gamma$ is related to the partial width $\Gamma$ by
\begin{equation}\label{eq:reduced-widths}
\Gamma_{\lambda c} = 2 \bf{P_c}\gamma_{\lambda c}^2.
\end{equation}
The sum in Eq. (II A1.2)\ref{eq:r-matrix} contains an infinite number of levels. All channels, including the ``gamma channel'' for which one of the particles is a photon, are represented by the channel indices.
The R-matrix is not the only possibility for parameterization of the scattering matrix. In the R-matrix formulation, equations are expressed in terms of channel-channel interactions. It is also possible to formulate scattering theory in terms of level-level interactions; this formulation uses what is called the A-matrix, which is defined as
\begin{equation}\label{eq:a-matrix}
A_{\mu\lambda}^{-1} = \left( E_\lambda - E \right)\delta_{\mu\lambda} - \sum_c \gamma_{\mu c}L_c\gamma_{\lambda c} .
\end{equation}
\noindent
To see the relationship of the A-matrix to the R-matrix, we begin by multiplying both
sides of Eq. (II A1.4) by $A$ and summing over $\lambda$:
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
\sum_\lambda A_{\mu\lambda}^{-1}A_{\lambda\nu} & = \sum_\lambda \left(E_\lambda-E\right)\delta_{\mu\lambda}A_{\lambda\nu} - \sum_c \gamma_{\mu c} L_c \gamma_{\lambda c} A_{\lambda \nu}, \\
& \text{or} \\
\delta_{\mu\nu} & = \left(E_\mu-E\right)A_{\mu\nu} - \sum_c \gamma_{\mu c}L_c \sum_\lambda \gamma_{\lambda c}A_{\lambda\nu} .
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
\noindent
Dividing by $(E_\mu - E)$, multiplying on the left by $\gamma_{\mu c'}$ and on the right by $\gamma_{\nu c''}$, and summing over $\mu$ puts this equation into the form
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
\sum_\mu \gamma_{\mu c'}\left(E_{\mu}-E\right)^{-1}\delta_{\mu\nu}\gamma_{\nu c''} = & \sum_\mu \gamma_{\mu c'}\left(E_\mu-E\right)^{-1}\left(E_\mu-E\right)A_{\mu\nu}\gamma_{\nu c''} \\
& - \sum_\mu \gamma_{\mu c'} \left(E_{\mu}-E\right)^{-1} \sum_c \gamma_{\mu c} L_c \sum_\lambda \gamma_{\lambda c} A_{\lambda \nu}\gamma_{\nu c''} ,
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
\noindent
which can be reduced to
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
\gamma_{\nu c'}\left(E_{\nu}-E\right)^{-1}\gamma_{\nu c''} = & \sum_{\mu} \gamma_{\mu c'} A_{\mu\nu}\gamma_{\nu c''} \\
& - \sum_c \left[ \sum_\mu \gamma_{\mu c'}\left(E_{\mu}-E\right)^{-1}\gamma_{\mu c} \right] L_c \sum_\lambda \gamma_{\lambda c} A_{\lambda\nu} \gamma_{\nu c''}.
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
\noindent
Summing over $\nu$ puts this into the form
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
\left[ \sum_\nu \gamma_{\nu c'}\left(E_{\nu}-E\right)^{-1}\gamma_{\nu c''} \right] = & \sum_{\mu\nu} \gamma_{\mu c'} A_{\mu\nu}\gamma_{\nu c''} \\
& - \sum_c \left[ \sum_\mu \gamma_{\mu c'}\left(E_{\mu}-E\right)^{-1}\gamma_{\mu c} \right] L_c \sum_{\lambda\nu} \gamma_{\lambda c} A_{\lambda\nu} \gamma_{\nu c''},
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
\noindent
in which we can replace the quantities in square brackets by the R-matrix, giving
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
R_{c'c''} = & \sum_{\mu\nu} \gamma_{\mu c'} A_{\mu\nu}\gamma_{\nu c''} - \sum_c R_{c'c} L_c \sum_{\lambda\nu} \gamma_{\lambda c} A_{\lambda\nu} \gamma_{\nu c''}, \\
= & \sum_c \left[ \delta_{c'c} - R_{c'c}L_c \right] \sum_{\lambda\nu}\gamma_{\lambda c} A_{\lambda\nu} \gamma_{\nu c''}.
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
\noindent
Solving for the summation, this equation can be rewritten as
\begin{equation}
\left[(I-RL)^{-1}R\right]_{cc''} = \sum_{\lambda\nu} \gamma_{\lambda c} A_{\lambda\nu} \gamma_{\nu c''}.
\end{equation}
