AB The application of a recently proposed procedure for discretizing the continuum to collision processesinvolving weakly bound nuclei is studied. In particular, the coupling to breakup states in the collision of d1208 Pb at 50 MeV is discussed. For illustrative purposes, only the s-wave component of the bound state of thedeuteron is considered, and the study is restricted to the case of nuclear s-wave breakup. The continuumdiscretization procedure provides a basis of transformed harmonic oscillator wave functions to accomplish thenecessary calculations. Appropriate convergence of the elastic and breakup cross sections with increasingdimension of the basis is reported. In addition, it is shown that the results obtained converge to those of astandard continuum discretized coupled channels calculation, with the advantage that the convergence of themethod is determined by only one parameter, namely the dimension of the basis.
