Bound-state calculations of the three-dimensional Yakubovsky equations with the inclusion of three-body forces

The four-body Yakubovsky equations in a three-dimensional approach with the inclusion of the three-body forces are proposed. The four-body bound state with two- and three-body interactions is formulated in the three-dimensional approach for identical particles as a function of vector Jacobi momenta, specifically, the magnitudes of the momenta and the angles between them. The modified three-dimensional Yakubovsky integral equations are successfully solved with the scalar two-meson exchange three-body force, where the Malfliet-Tjon-type two-body force is implemented. The three-body force effects on the energy eigenvalue and the four-body wave function, as well as accuracy of our numerical calculations are presented.

Three-body correlation functions and recombination rates for bosons in three dimensions and one dimension

We investigate local three-body correlations for bosonic particles in three dimensions and one dimension as a function of the interaction strength. The three-body correlation function g(3) is determined by measuring the three-body recombination rate in an ultracold gas of Cs atoms. In three dimensions, we measure the dependence of g(3) on the gas parameter in a BEC, finding good agreement with the theoretical prediction accounting for beyond-mean-field effects. In one dimension, we observe a reduction of g(3) by several orders of magnitude upon increasing interactions from the weakly interacting BEC to the strongly interacting Tonks-Girardeau regime, in good agreement with predictions from the Lieb-Liniger model for all strengths of interaction.     

Longitudinal response function of 4He with a realistic force

The longitudinal response function of ⁴He is calculated with the Argonne V18 potential. The comparison with experiment suggests the need of a three-body force. When adding the Urbana IX three-body potential in the calculation of the lower longitudinal multipoles, the total strength is suppressed in the quasi-elastic peak, towards the trend of the experimental data.     

计及两体和三体作用下的二维凝聚体中的孤子特性

使用多重尺度法,解析地研究计及粒子间两体和三体同时作用下二维凝聚体中孤子的特性. 结果发现,当凝聚体粒子间两体作用为排斥、三体作用为吸引时,凝聚体内会产生暗孤子环,且随着三体吸引作用的减弱,暗孤子环中心峰的高度逐渐降低,并当三体吸引作用消失时暗孤子环演化为一个完美的二维暗孤子. 当两体和三体作用均为排斥时,凝聚体中的暗孤子的宽度和幅度随着三体排斥作用的加强而减小,且当三体作用强度增加到与两体作用同一数量级时,凝聚体产生坍塌现象. 关键词： 玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体 两体和三体作用 暗孤子     

An approximate three-body theory of deuteron stripping

A treatment of deuteron stripping is developed in which the three-body effects associated with deuteron break-up in the nuclear field are included explicitly. The essence of the method is the choice of a convenient discrete set of n-p eigenfunctions as a representation of the three-body continuum effects. This approach leads to a distorted wave stripping matrix element similar to that of the DWBA, except that the elastic deuteron wave is replaced by a three-body wave function given as the solution of a set of coupled two-body Schrödinger equations. The adiabatic theory of Johnson and Soper appears as the solution in a suitable first approximation. This new formalism should prove useful in the evaluation of corrections to three-body models of the deuteron-nucleus system, in particular those models in which the nucleon-target interaction is represented by a complex local optical potential.     

Kinetic energy operator approach to the quantum three-body problem with Coulomb interactions

We present a non-variational approach to the solution of the quantum three-body problem, based on the decomposition of the three-body Laplacian operator through the use of its intrinsic symmetries. With the judicious choice of angular momentum eigenfunctions, a clean separation of spatial rotation from kinematic rotation is achieved, leading to a finite set of coupled PDEs in terms of the canonical variables. Numerical implementation of this approach to the three-body Coulomb problem is shown to yield accurate ground state eigenvalues and wavefunctions, together with those of low-lying excited states. We present results on some typical three-body systems. In particular, the eigenvalues and wavefunctions of the even-parity state of the negative hydrogen ion are detailed for the first time. The issue of computational efficiency is also briefly discussed.     

A correlated-basis-functions approach to realistic nuclear matter

The method of correlated basis functions is adapted to the nuclear-matter problem with two-nucleon potentials containing tensor as well as central components. Procedures are described for evaluating through three-body cluster order the energy expectation value with respect to a constrained trial ground-state wave function incorporating tensor and central correlations, and for calculating in two-body cluster approximation the second-order perturbation correction in a basis of likewise-correlated functions. Results for the 5100, 5200, Gammel-Christian-Thaler and Hamada-Johnston potentials are presented and dissected.     

Critical Temperature of Lequid-gas Phase Transition for Hot Nuclear Matter and Three-body Force Effect

The finite temperature Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (FTBHF) approach is extended by introducing a microscopic three-body force. Within the extended approach, the three-body force effects on the equation of state of hot nuclear matter and its temperature dependence have been investigated. The critical properties of the liquid-gas phase transition of hot nuclear matter have been calculated. It is shown that the three-body force provides a repulsive contribution to the equation of state of hot nuclear matter. The repulsive effect of the three-body force becomes more pronounced as the density and temperature increase and consequently inclusion of the three-body force contribution in the calculation reduces the predicted critical temperature from about 16MeV to about 13MeV. By separating the contribution originated from the 2σ-exchange process coupled to the virtual excitation of a nucleon-antinucleon pair from the full three-body force, the connection between the three-body force effect and the relativistic correction from the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock has been explored. It turns out that the contribution of the 2σ-NN part is more repulsive than that of the full three-body force and the calculated critical temperature is about 11MeV if only the 2σ-NN component of the three-body force is included which is lower than the value obtained in the case of including the full three-body force and is close to the value predicted by the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (DBHF) approach. Our result provides a reasonable explanation for the discrepancy between the values of critical temperature predicted from the FTBHF approach including the three-body force and the DBHF approach.     

Three-body interaction and phonon dispersion relations in aluminium

Based on an ab initio cohesive energy calculation and a model of three-body interaction, the pair potential can be calculated using the Möbius inversion theorem in the theory of numbers. Then the atomic force constants and the phonon dispersion for A1 are evaluated both with and without three-body interaction. Compared with experiments, the results show that taking the three-body interaction into account considerably improves the dispersions. Contrary to previous work, the method for calculating the atomic force constants and phonon dispersions presented here is simple, with only two adjustable parameters.     

Borromean three-body heteroatomic resonances

We present an approach to analyze recent experimental evidences of Efimov resonant states in mixtures of ultracold gases, by considering two-species three-body atomic systems bound in a Borromean configuration, where all the two-body interactions are unbound. For such Borromean three-body systems, it is shown that a continuum three-body s-wave resonance emerges from an Efimov state as a scattering length or a three-body scale is moved. The energy and width of the resonant state are determined from a scaling function with arguments given by dimension-less energy ratios relating the two-body virtual state subsystem energies with the shallowest three-body bound state. The peculiar behavior of such resonances is that their peaks are expected to move to lower values of the scattering length, with increasing width, as one raises the temperature. For Borromean systems, two resonant peaks are expected in ultralow-temperature regimes, which will disappear at higher energies. It is shown how a Borromean-Efimov excited bound state turns out to a resonant state by tuning the virtual two-body subsystem energies or scattering lengths, with all energies written in units of the next deeper shallowest Efimov state energy. The resonance position and width for the decay into the continuum are obtained as universal scaling functions (limit cycle) of the dimensionless ratios of the two and three-body scales, which are calculated numerically within a zero-range renormalized three-body model.

Dynamic polarization of 6,7Li nuclei in the elastic scattering of α particles

The elastic scattering of α particles on weakly bound ^6,7Li cluster nuclei is considered with allowance for their dynamic polarization within the three-particle model. The considered states of the αd and αt continuums are projected on a finite basis of stationary wave packets, which allows the total three-body problem to be reduced to a matrix problem. The results from calculating α + ^6,7Li-elastic scattering differential cross sections are considered as illustration of the three-particle approach and is compared to the results of other authors.     

Low Energy D(p, p)D Elastic Scattering Including Coulomb Force

The motivation of this paper is to obtain the three-body amplitudes for the Coulomb potential plus a nuclear force in momentum space. Not only the two-body off-shell nuclear amplitude but also the two-body off-shell Coulomb amplitude is important in the three-body calculation. For calculating the Coulomb amplitude, the modified Coulomb potential whose Fourier transformation is analytically equivalent to the pure configuration space Coulomb potential, is introduced. In addition, the decisive screening range parameter is also utilized instead of the screening range. The modified Coulomb potential plus the parameter is called decisive modified Coulomb potential. The three-body proton-deuteron elastic scattering is calculated by using the proper two-body off-shell amplitude for the decisive modified Coulomb potential.     

The perturbed static path approximation at finite temperature: observables and strength functions

We present an approximation scheme for calculating observables and strength functions of finite fermionic systems at finite temperature such as hot nuclei. The approach is formulated within the framework of the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation and goes beyond the static path approximation and the RPA by taking into account small amplitude time-dependent fluctuations around each static value of the auxiliary fields. We show that this perturbed static path approach can be used systematically to obtain good approximations for observable expectation values and for low moments of the strength function. The approximation for the strength function itself, extracted by an analytic continuation from the imaginary-time response function, is not always reliable, and we discuss the origin of the discrepancies and possible improvements. Our results are tested in a solvable many-body model.

H2O as a Three-Body system

The few-body method for treating water molecules is presented. H₂O can be regarded as a three-body system. The total three-body wavefunction is expanded in terms of the harmonic oscillator product states in the Jacobi coordinates. The binding energies are calculated by using a pairwise model potential in the variational approach. The geometry and modes of internal motion are analyzed by the shape density function. The results are E = -76.07 a. u, R_HO = 0.970 Å and ∠LHOH = 105.38°. These results are compared with some known calculations and experimental values.     

Three-body forces in nuclei and the σ-model

The expectation value of the three-σ-exchange three-body force is evaluated in nuclear matter and in the triton. Full correlations are included between all three particles, and exchange terms are evaluated. When the parameters of the σ-model are chosen to reproduce the medium-range attraction in the two-nucleon system, one obtains some ?15 MeV per particle (attraction) in nuclear matter if the strength of the three-body force is evaluated in the tree approximation. The contribution to the ground-state energy of the triton is in his case about ?1 MeV. A simple interpolation formula is given, which relates the expectation value of the three-body force to the matter density and number of nucleons in the nucleus. It is concluded that the net strength of the three-body force must be reduced by quantum (loop) corrections.     

Dissociation of Hadrons in Quark Matter Within a Finite-Temperature Field-Theory Approach on the Light Front

We present a relativistic three-body equation to investigate the properties of nucleons in hot and dense nuclear/quark matter. Within the light-front approach we utilize a zero-range interaction to study the three-body dynamics. The relativistic in-medium equation is derived within a systematic Dyson equation approach that includes the dominant medium effects due to Pauli blocking and self-energy corrections. We present the in-medium nucleon mass and calculate the dissociation of the three-body system.     

Analysis of the low-energy ηNN-dynamics within a three-body formalism

The interaction of an η-meson with two nucleons is studied within a three-body approach. The major features of the ηNN-system in the low-energy region are accounted for by using a s-wave separable ansatz for the two-body ηN and NN amplitudes. The calculation is confined to the (J ^π;T) = (0^-;1) and (1^-;0) configurations which are assumed to be the most promising candidates for virtual or resonant ηNN-states. The eigenvalue three-body equation is continued analytically into the nonphysical sheets by contour deformation. The position of the poles of the three-body scattering matrix as a function of the ηN-interaction strength is investigated. The corresponding trajectory, starting on the physical sheet, moves around the ηNN three-body threshold and continues away from the physical area giving rise to virtual ηNN-states. The search for poles on the nonphysical sheets adjacent directly to the upper rim of the real energy axis gives a negative result. Thus no low-lying s-wave ηNN-resonances were found. The possible influence of virtual poles on the low-energy ηNN-scattering is discussed. Received: 27 June 2000 / Accepted: 3 August 2000
