Abstract

A system of differential equations in the momentum space for describing three-body scattering is obtained. Preliminary calculations of the length of boson scattering on a bound bosonic pair are performed. The data obtained are in good agreement with the results of calculations of helium atom scattering on a helium dimer.

Differential equations in momentum space for the three-body problem in the case of pointlike pair interactions

Ф. М. Пеньков, Werner Sandhas

Corrects schemes for solving equations of three-body dynamics for systems governed by a zerorange two-body interaction are considered. Correlations between spectral features of a three-boson system are obtained. The results are compared with the results obtained by calculating the spectra and scattering lengths in the system of three helium atoms with realistic two-body interaction potentials.

System of differential equations in the momentum space for a three-body problem

Ф. М. Пеньков, Werner Sandhas

A form of three-boson Skornyakov-Ter-Martirosyan equations differential in the momentum space is proposed. This form makes it possible to directly use the Danilov condition for self-adjointness of the three-particle Hamiltonian with zero-range pair interactions. The numerical solution for the system of differential equations of the Heun class is compared with the solutions for the Faddeev equations for the problem of determining the helium trimer spectrum.

Differential form of the Skornyakov–Ter-Martirosyan Equations

Ф. М. Пеньков, Werner Sandhas

The Skornyakov--Ter-Martirosyan three-boson integral equations in momentum space are transformed into differential equations. This allows us to take into account quite directly the Danilov condition providing self-adjointness of the underlying three-body Hamiltonian with zero-range pair interactions. For the helium trimer the numerical solutions of the resulting differential equations are compared with those of the Faddeev-type AGS equations.

Ultra-low energy elastic scattering in a system of three He atoms

Differential Faddeev equations in total angular momentum representation are used for the first time to investigate ultra-low energy elastic scattering of a helium atom on a helium dimer. Six potential models of interatomic interaction are investigated. The results improve and extend the Faddeev equations based results known in literature. The employed method can be applied to investigation of different elastic and inelastic processes in three- and four-atomic weakly bounded systems below three-body threshold. 1
