We study the low-energy 3/2 − and 1/2 − states of 5 He and 5 Li in a microscopic cluster model. The scattering phase shifts of Bond (α + n) and of Schwandt (α + p), respectively, are reproduced well. We determine the resonance parameters by localizing the poles of the analytically continued S-matrix at complex energies. Our results differ from conventional R-matrix resonance parameters, which were extracted from experimental data using the definition of a resonance based on the positions and widths of reaction cross section peaks. However, they nicely agree with the results of an extended R-matrix method which works at complex energies.
