Use of generalized hyperspherical Sturmian functions for a three-body break-up model problem

A hyperspherical Sturmian approach recently developed for three-body break-up processes is tested through an analytically solvable S-wave model. The scattering process is represented by a non-homogeneous Schrödinger equation in which the driven term is given by a Coulomb-like interaction multiplied...

description A hyperspherical Sturmian approach recently developed for three-body break-up processes is tested through an analytically solvable S-wave model. The scattering process is represented by a non-homogeneous Schrödinger equation in which the driven term is given by a Coulomb-like interaction multiplied by the product of a continuum wavefunction and a bound state in the particles' coordinates. The model contains most of the difficulties encountered in a real three-body scattering problem, e.g., non-separability in the electrons' spherical coordinates and Coulombic asymptotic behaviour, and thus provides an interesting benchmark for numerical methods. Since the Sturmian basis functions are constructed so as to include the correct asymptotic behaviour, a very fast convergence of the scattering wavefunction is observed. Excellent agreement is found with the analytical results for the associated transition amplitude. This holds true down to very low energies, a domain which is usually challenging as it involves huge spatial extensions. Within our method, such calculations can be performed without increasing significantly the computational requirements. © 2013 IOP Publishing Ltd.
