| contents | This paper introduces students and instructors to the use of Scilab for calculating phase shifts from phenomenological potentials in nuclear, atomic, and molecular scattering, beginning with a Riccati-type nonlinear differential equation derived from the time-independent Schr$\ddot{\text{o}}$dinger equation. For spherically symmetric potentials, this equation can be easily solved using Xcos, a Scilab toolbox. \cite{PRC}\cite{bobby} Scilab is open source software that is used for numerical computations and can be freely downloaded for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.\cite{scilab} Xcos is a Scilab toolbox dedicated to the modeling and simulation of hybrid dynamic systems \cite{rachna}. Xcos provides users with the ability to model complex dynamical systems using a block diagram editor (GUI based), offering a step-by-step procedure for learning to solve complex differential equations interactively. |
