A theory of particle-nucleus scattering is proposed. In this theory the ATMS method is connected with the Kerman-McManus-Thaler theory, and the projectile and the target nucleus are explicitly treated as a correlated (N +1)-body system. The effective potential between the incident particle and the target nucleus is represented by means of incident particle-target nucleon correlation functions. This gives an advantage that one can take into account many-body correlations. The feasibility of the numerical calculation by the theory is demonstrated in Λ-3H elastic scattering. This example also shows the importance of the many-body correlations for the effective potential.
