contents We introduce COLOSS, a program designed to address the scattering problem using a bound-state technique known as complex scaling. In this method, the oscillatory boundary conditions of the wave function are transformed into exponentially decaying ones, accommodating the long-range Coulomb interaction. The program implements the Woods-Saxon form of a realistic optical potential, with all potential parameters included in a well-designed input format for ease of use. This design offers users straightforward access to compute \(S\)-matrices and cross-sections of the scattering process. We provide thorough discussions on the precision of Lagrange functions and their benefits in evaluating matrix elements. Additionally, COLOSS incorporates two distinct rotation methods, making it adaptable to potentials without analytical expressions. Comparative results demonstrate that COLOSS achieves high accuracy when compared with the direct integration method, Numerov, underscoring its utility and effectiveness in scattering calculations.
