We consider Feshbach scattering of fermions in an one-dimensional optical lattice. By formulating the scattering theory in the crystal momentum basis, one can exploit the lattice symmetry and factorize the scattering problem in terms of center-of-mass and relative momentum in the reduced Brillouin zone scheme. Within a single-band approximation, we can tune the position of a Feshbach resonance with the center-of-mass momentum due to the non-parabolic form of the energy band. We present numerical results for the resonant scattering in an one-dimensional lattice. In order to understand this results we discuss an analytic model for the coherent tunneling of atoms and dimers in half spaces.
