Eigenfunctions for SU( nu ) particles with 1/r2interaction in harmonic confinement
K Vacek, A Okiji, N Kawakami
Abstract
We find a set of exact eigenfunctions which provide the energy spectrum for the quantum N-body Calogero-Sutherland model for fermions or bosons with SU( nu ) spin degrees of freedom moving in a harmonic confinement potential. The eigenfunctions are explicitly constructed as a simple product of the Jastrow wavefunction for the ground state and the Hermite polynomials introduced to generate the excited states. The corresponding energy spectrum is given by a sum of the correlated ground-state energy and of the excited-state energy for SU( nu ) free particles in a harmonic well.
