The leading asymptotic terms of the three-body Coulomb scattering wave function
Abstract
The asymptotic wave function derived by Alt and Mukhamedzhanov [Phys. Rev. A 47, 2004 (1993)] and Mukhamedzhanov and Lieber [Phys. Rev. A 54, 3078 (1996)] has been refined in the region where the pair $ (β,γ)$ remains close to each other while the third particle $α$ is far away from them $(ρ_α \to \infty$, $r_α/ρ_α\to 0)$. The improved wave function satisfies the Schrödinger equation up to the terms of order $O(1/{ρ_α}^{3})$, provides the leading asymptotic terms of the three-body scattering wave function with Coulomb interactions and gives further insight into the continuum behavior of the three-charged-particle wave function and helps to obtain $3\to 3$ scattered wave. This opens up further ways of solving and analysing the three-body Schrödinger equation by numerical means.
