Explicit Representations for the T-Matrix on Unphysical Energy Sheets and Resonances in Two- and Three-Body Systems

We discuss the structure of the two- and three-body T-matrices, scattering matrices, and resolvents continued to the unphysical energy sheets. Our conclusions arise due to the representations that have been found for analytically continued momentum-space kernels of the T-operators. These representations are explicitly written only in terms of the physical-sheet kernels of the T-matrix itself. One of advantages of the representations in the three-body case is that they show which portions of the physical-sheet three-body scattering matrix are ``responsible'' for the resonances associated with a particular unphysical sheet. A resonance appears to be the energy where the correspondingly truncated scattering matrix (taken on the physical sheet) has eigenvalue zero. We also mention applications of this approach to some specific three-body systems, based on the Faddeev differential equations.Comment: Based on a lecture given at the International Workshop ``Critical Stability of Few-Body Quantum Systems'' (Dresden, October 17--22, 2005

Scattering and resonances in the ^4He three-atomic system

A mechanism of disappearance and formation of the Efimov levels of the helium ^4He_3 trimer is studied when the force of interatomic interaction is changed. The resonances including virtual levels are calculated by the method based on the solving the boundary value problem, at complex energies, for the Faddeev differential equations describing the (2+1 --> 2+1; 1+1+1) scattering processes.Comment: RevTeX, 5 pages; Contribution to Proceedings of the First International Conference on Modern Trends in Computational Physics, June 15-20, 1998, Dubna (Russia

Kinetic energy in the collective quadrupole Hamiltonian from the experimental data

Dependence of the kinetic energy term of the collective nuclear Hamiltonian on collective momentum is considered. It is shown that the fourth order in collective momentum term of the collective quadrupole Hamiltonian generates a sizable effect on the excitation energies and the matrix elements of the quadrupole moment operator. It is demonstrated that the results of calculation are sensitive to the values of some matrix elements of the quadrupole moment. It stresses the importance for a concrete nucleus to have the experimental data for the reduced matrix elements of the quadrupole moment operator taken between all low lying states with the angular momenta not exceeding 4
