contents We present a method to calculate neutron scattering cross sections for deformed nuclei using many--body wavefunctions described with multiple reference states. Nuclear states are calculated with the generator coordinate method using a low energy effective Hamiltonian. Using these states, a non--local and energy dependent optical potential is consistently constructed, allowing to directly investigate the role of nuclear structure properties in nuclear scattering. The case of neutron scattering on $^{24}$Mg is presented. The results are compared to experiment and to phenomenological optical potentials at energies below 13 MeV, demonstrating the importance of low--energy collectivity in elastic and non--elastic scattering.
