Classification of three-body quantum halos

The different kinds of behaviour of three-body systems in the weak binding limit are classified with specific attention to the transition from a true three-body system to an effective two-body system. For weakly bound Borromean systems approaching the limit of binding we show that the size-binding energy relation is an almost universal function of the three s-wave scattering lengths measured in units of a hyperradial scaling parameter defined as a mass weighted average of two-body equivalent square well radii. We explain why three-body halos follow this curve and why systems appearing above reveal two-body substructures. Three-body quantum halos 2-3 times larger than the limit set by zero hypermoment are possible

The Effective Fragment Molecular Orbital Method for Fragments Connected by Covalent Bonds

We extend the effective fragment molecular orbital method (EFMO) into treating fragments connected by covalent bonds. The accuracy of EFMO is compared to FMO and conventional ab initio electronic structure methods for polypeptides including proteins. Errors in energy for RHF and MP2 are within 2 kcal/mol for neutral polypeptides and 6 kcal/mol for charged polypeptides similar to FMO but obtained two to five times faster. For proteins, the errors are also within a few kcal/mol of the FMO results. We developed both the RHF and MP2 gradient for EFMO. Compared to ab initio, the EFMO optimized structures had an RMSD of 0.40 and 0.44 {\AA} for RHF and MP2, respectively.Comment: Revised manuscrip

Three-Body Halos in Two Dimensions

A method to study weakly bound three-body quantum systems in two dimensions is formulated in coordinate space for short-range potentials. Occurrences of spatially extended structures (halos) are investigated. Borromean systems are shown to exist in two dimensions for a certain class of potentials. An extensive numerical investigation shows that a weakly bound two-body state gives rise to two weakly bound three-body states, a reminiscence of the Efimov effect in three dimensions. The properties of these two states in the weak binding limit turn out to be universal. PACS number(s): 03.65.Ge, 21.45.+v, 31.15.Ja, 02.60NmComment: 9 pages, 2 postscript figures, LaTeX, epsf.st

alpha particle momentum distributions from 12C decaying resonances

The computed $\alpha$ particle momentum distributions from the decay of low-lying $^{12}$C resonances are shown. The wave function of the decaying fragments is computed by means of the complex scaled hyperspherical adiabatic expansion method. The large-distance part of the wave functions is crucial and has to be accurately calculated. We discuss energy distributions, angular distributions and Dalitz plots for the $4^+$, $1^+$ and $4^-$ states of $^{12}$C.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures.

Three-body Thomas-Ehrman shifts of analog states of 17^{17}Ne and 17^{17}N

The lowest-lying states of the Borromean nucleus $^{17}$Ne ($^{15}$O+$p$ + $p$) and its mirror nucleus $^{17}$N ($^{15}$N+$n$ + $n$) are compared by using the hyperspheric adiabatic expansion. Three-body resonances are computed by use of the complex scaling method. The measured size of $^{15}$O and the low-lying resonances of $^{16}$F ($^{15}$O+$p$) are first used as constraints to determine both central and spin-dependent two-body interactions. The interaction obtained reproduces relatively accurately both experimental three-body spectra. The Thomas-Ehrman shifts, involving excitation energy differences, are computed and found to be less than 3% of the total Coulomb energy shift for all states.Comment: 9 pages, 3 postscript figures, revtex style.

Computations of Three-Body Continuum Spectra

We formulate a method to solve the coordinate space Faddeev equations for positive energies. The method employs hyperspherical coordinates and analytical expressions for the effective potentials at large distances. Realistic computations of the parameters of the resonances and the strength functions are carried out for the Borromean halo nucleus 6He (n+n+alpha) for J = 0+, 0-, 1+, 1-, 2+,2-.

Structure and three-body decay of 9^9Be resonances

The complex-rotated hyperspherical adiabatic method is used to study the decay of low-lying $^9$Be resonances into one neutron and two $\alpha$-particles. We investigate the six resonances above the break-up threshold and below 6 MeV: $1/2^\pm$, $3/2^\pm$ and $5/2^\pm$. The short-distance properties of each resonance are studied, and the different angular momentum and parity configurations of the $^8$Be and $^5$He two-body substructures are determined. We compute the branching ratio for sequential decay via the $^8$Be ground state which qualitatively is consistent with measurements. We extract the momentum distributions after decay directly into the three-body continuum from the large-distance asymptotic structures. The kinematically complete results are presented as Dalitz plots as well as projections on given neutron and $\alpha$-energy. The distributions are discussed and in most cases found to agree with available experimental data.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures. To appear in Physical Review
