Abstract:The Faddeev-Lovelace equations, describing three particles interacting via short-range separable potentials, are modified to include the case in which two of the particles are charged. The three-body amplitudes are split into pure Coulomb and Coulomb-distorted amplitudes, and a set of integral equations similar to Lovelace's are obtained for the Coulomb-distorted amplitudes. The pure Coulomb contributions are taken to be zero for rearrangement channels and are approximated by two-body Coulomb amplitudes for th… Show more
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.
