McVoy developed the Nested-Doorway model at Phys. Rev. Lett. 43:1645, 1979 With L.F. Canto, R. Donangelo & A. Lepine clarified the origin of the anomalous large-angle scattering of systems as 16O + 28Si as being related to alpha-cluster nature of these nuclei which allows elastic transfer at Phys. Rev. Lett. 51:95, 1983 Developed the formal complex potential scattering theory (1987) Suggested a mechanism where a powerful laser is coupled to a beam of electrons and through an ingenious setup involving magnets with alternating polarities placed at distances along the accelerator, the electrons injected with MeV energies, could reach GeV energies after travelling one meter (laser driven accelerators) Showed the relevance of the coupling of the different channels to the low Q-value breakup channels even at low energies (1991-2) An important paper With Mauricio Porto Pato (IF-USP), L.F.
