Three-atom scattering via the Faddeev scheme in configuration space
Faddeev equations in configuration space and integral form for three-atom scattering processes are formulated allowing for additive and nonadditive forces. The explicit partial wave decomposition is displayed. This formulation appears to be a valuable alternative to current approaches based on hyperspherical harmonic expansion methods of the Schrödinger equation.

Resonances and Quantum Scattering for the Morse Potential as a Barrier
Quantum scattering in the presence of a potential valley followed by a barrier is examined for the case of a Morse potential, for which exact analytic solutions to the Schr\UNICODE{0xf6}dinger equation are known in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. For our application the potential is characterized by three parameters: the height of the barrier, the distance of the barrier from the origin of the radial variable $r,$ and a diffuseness parameter. The wave function, defined in the interval $0\leq r<\infty ,$ is required to vanish at $r=0,$ and hence represents a radial partial wave for zero angular momentum. The vanishing at $r=0$ requires a special combination of hypergeometric functions, and can lead to resonances for incident energies which occur below the top of the barrier. Numerical values for the analytical phase shifts are presented in and outside the resonant regions, and the corresponding properties of the scattering S-matrix are examined in the complex momentum plane, mainly for pedagogical reasons. The validity of the Breit-Wigner approximation to the resonant phase shifts is tested, and the motion of a ''resonant'' wave packet slowly leaking out of the valley region is also displayed.
