Four-nucleon binding energies and Faddeev amplitudes are calculated in the integro-di6'erential equation approach, which neglects all N-body correlations with N 3, for realistic forces in the three-channel approximation. Good agreement is obtained with corresponding results recently obtained by means of the Faddeev-Yakubovsky equations. Thereby, the dominance of two-body correlations, even for realistic forces, is established. The e6'ect of the inclusion of the hypercentral potential in the definition of the (modified) Faddeev amplitudes for realistic forces is investigated and found to be of less importance for realistic forces than for central spin-dependent forces. The threeand four-nucleon modified Faddeev amplitudes are also compared. We found that the Dstate Faddeev amplitudes are less sensitive to the number of nucleons, to the inclusion of the hypercentral potential, and to the nucleon-nucleon force than the mixed symmetry S'-state amplitudes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
