  abstract     = {{<p>We present a method to calculate neutron scattering cross sections for deformed nuclei using many-body wave functions described with multiple reference states. Nuclear states are calculated with the generator coordinate method using a low energy effective Hamiltonian. Using these states, a nonlocal and energy dependent optical potential is consistently constructed, allowing one to directly investigate the role of nuclear structure properties in nuclear scattering. The case of neutron scattering on <sup>24</sup>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 nonelastic scattering.</p>}},
