Non-spurious two-cluster harmonic oscillator wavefunctions
Akiva Novoselsky, Jacob Katriel
The authors consider a system of identical particles distributed in two clusters and described by harmonic oscillator wavefunctions. A set of non-spurious two-cluster states, whose centre-of-mass is at rest, is constructed. It is characterized by the cluster Yamanouchi symbols as well as by its overall permutational symmetry, angular momentum and total energy. Applications to nuclear cluster models, to the evaluation of nuclear spectroscopic factors, to the description of nuclei as quark-clusters, and to the study of interacting rare-gas clusters are pointed out.
