Direct Evaluation of Fractional Parentage Coefficients Using Young Operators: Normalization of Four-Particle Wave Functions
M. J. Englefield
In a recent paper by Jahn, four-particle wave functions of specified symmetry were generated by using Young operators. When three of the angular momenta of the individual particles were the same, the functions were not normalized, an undetermined factor ${N}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\beta}}$ being introduced. Explicit expressions for this factor, in terms of the Hope $\ensuremath{\chi}$ function, are given.
