Abstract

The first step toward the application of an effective non partial wave (PW) numerical approach to few-body atomic bound states has been taken. The two-body transition amplitude which appears in the kernel of three-dimensional Faddeev-Yakubovsky integral equations is calculated as function of two-body Jacobi momentum vectors, i.e. as a function of the magnitude of initial and final momentum vectors and the angle between them. For numerical calculation the realistic interatomic interactions HFDHE2, HFD-B, LM2M2 and TTY are used. The angular and momentum dependence of the fully off-shell transition amplitude is studied at negative energies. It has been numerically shown that, similar to the nuclear case, the transition amplitude exhibits a characteristic angular behavior in the vicinity of 4He dimer pole.

Highlights

  • In recent years the 4 He trimer and tetramer have been the center of several theoretical investigations

  • The limitation arises from eccentricities of the interatomic interactions, since interatomic interactions often contain very strong short range repulsion which leads to tedious and cumbersome numerical procedure

  • In calculations of atomic systems, because of the short range correlations, one needs a large number of partial wave (PW) to obtain the converged results

Summary

Introduction

In recent years the 4 He trimer and tetramer have been the center of several theoretical investigations (see, for example, Refs. [1,2,3] and references therein). The three and four-body atomic bound states have been studied with short-range forces and large scattering length at leading order in an Effective field theory approach [9]-[11], but these investigations are based on PW decomposition and the interactions are restricted to only s-wave sector. By these considerations we are going to extend a numerical method, which has been successfully applied to nuclear bound and scattering systems and avoids the PW representation and its complexity, to atomic bound states.
