Calculations in ab initio no-core configuration interaction (NCCI) approaches, such as the no-core shell model (NCSM) or no-core full configuration (NCFC) methods, have conventionally been carried out using the harmonic-oscillator many-body basis. However, the rapid falloff (Gaussian asymptotics) of the oscillator functions at large radius makes them poorly suited for the description of the asymptotic properties of the nuclear wavefunction. We establish the foundations for carrying out NCCI calculations with an alternative many-body basis built from Coulomb-Sturmian functions. These provide a complete, discrete set of functions with a realistic exponential falloff. We present illustrative NCCI calculations for 6Li with a Coulomb-Sturmian basis and investigate the center-of-mass separation and spurious excitations.
