On the Coulomb-Sturmian matrix elements of the Coulomb Green's operator

The two-body Coulomb Hamiltonian, when calculated in Coulomb-Sturmian basis, has an infinite symmetric tridiagonal form, also known as Jacobi matrix form. This Jacobi matrix structure involves a continued fraction representation for the inverse of the Green's matrix. The continued fraction can be transformed to a ratio of two $_{2}F_{1}$ hypergeometric functions. From this result we find an exact analytic formula for the matrix elements of the Green's operator of the Coulomb Hamiltonian.Comment: 8 page

Instabilities in Nuclei

The evolution of dynamical perturbations is examined in nuclear multifragmentation in the frame of Vlasov equation. Both plane wave and bubble type of perturbations are investigated in the presence of surface (Yukawa) forces. An energy condition is given for the allowed type of instabilities and the time scale of the exponential growth of the instabilities is calculated. The results are compared to the mechanical spinodal region predictions. PACS: 25.70 MnComment: 22 pages, latex, with 5 PS figures, available at http://www.gsi.de/~papp

Resonant-state solution of the Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations for three-body systems with Coulomb potentials

A novel method for calculating resonances in three-body Coulombic systems is proposed. The Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations are solved by applying the Coulomb-Sturmian separable expansion method. The $e^- e^+ e^-$ S-state resonances up to $n=5$ threshold are calculated.Comment: 6 pages, 2 ps figure

Integral equations for three-body Coulombic resonances

We propose a novel method for calculating resonances in three-body Coulombic systems. The method is based on the solution of the set of Faddeev and Lippmann-Schwinger integral equations, which are designed for solving the three-body Coulomb problem. The resonances of the three-body system are defined as the complex-energy solutions of the homogeneous Faddeev integral equations. We show how the kernels of the integral equations should be continued analytically in order that we get resonances. As a numerical illustration a toy model for the three-$\alpha$ system is solved.Comment: 9 pages, 1 EPS figur
