Binary scattering and breakup in the three-nucleon system

Abstract

We present the further development of the three-particle formalism for differential Faddeev equations. The asymptotic boundary conditions in the hyperspherical adiabatic representation have been constructed. We prove that these conditions are asymptotically equivalent to the standard Merkuriev boundary conditions. With these boundary conditions we have formulated the boundary-value problem for Faddeev equations which has the property that the binary channel and the breakup channel are explicitly orthogonal. The effective numerical scheme for solving the formulated boundary-value problem is given.
