Alpha-deuteron structure of 6Li as predicted by a separable-potential three-body model

Schroedinger's equation with separable n-p (³S₁) and $\text{n}\text{-α (}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}$ potentials solved to obtain a three-body model of the ⁶Li ground-state wave function. This model predicts the α-n-p binding energy of ⁶Li to be 4.67 MeV Exp.: 4.53 MeV = 3.697 + 0.834 (Coulomb)], the asymptotic normalization constant of the d-α tail to be 2.39, and the amount of d+α component to be 65%. The ⁶Li→α+d vertex function is slightly more momentum dependent than present experiments suggest.
