Mass-Energy Equivalence in Bound Three-Nucleon Systems

The mass defect formula reflects the equivalence of mass and energy for bound nuclear systems. We study three-nucleon systems $^3$H and $^3$He, considering the neutron and proton as indistinguishable particles ($AAA$ model) or taking into account the real masses of neutrons and protons ($AAB$ model). We have focused on conceptual problems of the $AAA$ model, which is widely used for $3N$ calculations. In particular, the $AAA$ model is incompatible with the mass defect formula, which naturally corresponds to the $AAB$ model. In addition, the $AAA$ model has a cyclic permutation symmetry, which is breaking in the natural $AAB$ model. The latter problem cannot be eliminated within the perturbative $AAA$ approach, in which the mass difference effect is simulated by correcting the kinetic energy operator. Earlier it was reported that the accuracy of such $AAA$ calculations is 1~keV. An example of the $AAB$ calculation, we numerically estimate the effect of the difference between the neutron and proton masses on the energy calculated without any approximation with the accuracy of 0.1~keV. Another manifestation of the equivalence of mass $m$ and energy $E$ can be expressed by the formula $dE/dm=Const$. To show this dependence of the three-body energy on the nucleon mass, we performed realistic calculations within the $AAA$ approximation, varying the averaged nucleon mass. The mass-energy compensation effect for the three-body Hamiltonian is shown. According to this, we have determined the effective nucleon mass required to compensate for the perturbative effect of a three-body potential.

3N potentials in the Faddeev coordinate space approach to Nd scattering

In the last decade, for studying 3$N$ bound states and $Nd$ scattering the Tucson-Melbourne (TM) and Urbana 3$N$ force derived from the chiral EFT have been applied. We plan to use the TM 3$N$ force for studying the $Nd$ scattering on the basis of the Faddeev equations in configuration space. In the given paper, we present our final formulas for components of the TM 3$N$ potential obtained in the coordinate space.

Three-body model for $K(1460)$ resonance

The three-body $KK\bar K$ model for the $K(1460)$ resonance is developed on the basis of the Faddeev equations in configuration space. A single-channel approach is using with taking into account the difference of masses of neutral and charged kaons. It is demonstrated that a splitting the mass of the $K(1460)$ resonance takes a place around 1460 MeV according to $K^0K^0{\bar K}^0$, $K^0K^+K^-$ and $K^+K^0{\bar K}^0$, $ K^+K^+K^-$ neutral and charged particle configurations, respectively. The calculations are performed with two sets of $KK$ and $K\bar K$ phenomenological potentials, where the latter interaction is considered the same for the isospin singlet and triplet states. The effect of repulsion of the $KK$ interaction on the mass of the $KK\bar K$ system is studied and the effect of the mass polarization is evaluated. The first time the Coulomb interaction for description of the $K(1460)$ resonance is considered. The mass splitting in the $K$(1460) resonances is evaluated to be in range of 10 MeV with taking into account the Coulomb force. The three-body model with the $K\bar K$ potential, which has the different strength of the isospin singlet and triplet parts that are related by the condition of obtaining a quasi-bound three-body state is also considered. Our results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental mass of the $K(1460)$ resonance.

On mass polarization effect in three-body systems

We evaluate the mass polarization term of the kinetic-energy operator for different three-body nuclear $AAB$ systems by employing the method of Faddeev equations in configuration space. For a three-boson system this term is determined by the difference of the doubled binding energy of the $AB$ subsystem $2E_{2}$ and the three-body binding energy $E_{3}(V_{AA}=0)$ when the interaction between the identical particles is omitted. In this case: $\left\vert E_{3}(V_{AA}=0)\right\vert >2\left\vert E_{2}\right\vert$. In the case of a system complicated by isospins(spins), such as the kaonic clusters $ K^{-}K^{-}p$ and $ppK^{-}$, the similar evaluation impossible. For these systems it is found that $\left\vert E_{3}(V_{AA}=0)\right\vert <2\left\vert E_{2}\right\vert$. A model with an $AB$ potential averaged over spin(isospin) variables transforms the later case to the first one. The mass polarization effect calculated within this model is essential for the kaonic clusters. Besides we have obtained the relation $|E_3|\le |2E_2|$ for the binding energy of the kaonic clusters.

Spin-flip doublets of $^9$Be spectrum within a cluster model

The structure of the $^9$Be low-lying spectrum is studied within the cluster model $α+α+n$. In the model the total orbital momentum is fixed for each energy level. Thus each level is determined as a member of the spin-flip doublet corresponding to the total orbital momentum ($L^π=0^+, 2^+,4^+, 1^-, 2^-,3^-, 4^-$) of the system. The Ali-Bodmer potential (model E) is applied for the $αα$ interaction. We employ a local $αn$ potential which was constructed to reproduce the $α-n$ scattering data. The Pauli blocking is simulated by the repulsive core of the $s$-wave components of these potentials. Configuration space Faddeev equations are used to calculate the energy of the bound state ($E_{cal.}$=-1.493 MeV v.s. $E_{exp.}$=-1.5735 MeV) and resonances. A variant of the method of analytical continuation in the coupling constant is applied to calculate the energies of low-lying levels. Available $^9$Be spectral data are satisfactorily reproduced by the proposed model.

Modeling of $^6_Λ$He hypernucleus within configuration space Faddeev approach

The cluster $^4\rm He+Λ+\rm n$ model is applied to describe the $^6_Λ$He hypernucleus. The consideration is based on the configuration space Faddeev equations for a system of non-identical particles. A set of the pair potentials includes the OBE simulating (NSC97f) model for the $Λ\rm n$ interaction and the phenomenological potentials for the $αΛ$ and $α\rm n$ interactions. We calculated energies of spin (1$^-$,2$^-$) doublet. For the 2$^-$ excitation energy, the obtained value is 0.18 MeV. The hyperon binding energy of the bound 1$^-$ state is less than the experimental value, which may be an evidence for violation of the exact three-body cluster structure.

A study of nucleon-deuteron elastic scattering in configuration space

A new computational method for solving the nucleon-deuteron breakup scattering problem has been applied to study the elastic neutron- and proton-deuteron scattering on the basis of the configuration-space Faddeev-Noyes-Noble-Merkuriev equations. This method is based on the spline-decomposition in the angular variable and on a generalization of the Numerov method for the hyperradius. The Merkuriev-Gignoux-Laverne approach has been generalized for arbitrary nucleon-nucleon potentials and with an arbitrary number of partial waves. The nucleon-deuteron observables at the incident nucleon energy 3 MeV have been calculated using the charge-independent AV14 nucleon-nucleon potential including the Coulomb force for the proton-deuteron scattering. Results have been compared with those of other authors and with experimental proton-deuteron scattering data.

Cluster models of Lambda-Lambda-6He and Lambda-9Be hypernuclei

Configuration space Faddeev calculations are performed for the binding energy of Lambda-Lambda-6He and Lambda-9Be bound states, here considered as alpha-Lambda-Lambda and alpha-alpha-Lambda clusters respectively, in order to study the dependence of the calculated binding energy on the alpha-Lambda potential input. For Lambda-Lambda-6He, using realistic interactions, the uncertainty in extracting the Lambda-Lambda S=L=0 interaction strength does not exceed 0.1 MeV, which is a fraction of the order of magnitude derived for other theoretical uncertainties. For Lambda-9Be, the dependence of the calculated binding energy on the alpha-Lambda potential is considerably larger, of order 1 MeV. Our results for Lambda-9Be suggest that the odd-state alpha-Lambda interaction is substantially reduced with respect to the even-state component.

Faddeev calculations for the A=5,6 Lambda-Lambda hypernuclei

Faddev calculations are reported for Lambda-Lambda-5H, Lambda-Lambda-5He and Lambda-Lambda-6He in terms of two Lambda hyperons plus the respective nuclear clusters, using Lambda-Lambda central potentials considered in past non-Faddeev calculations of Lambda-Lambda-6He. The convergence with respect to the partial-wave expansion is studied, and comparison is made with some of these Lambda-Lambda hypernuclear calculations. The Lambda-Lambda <--> Xi-N mixing effect is briefly discussed.

Cumulative structure function in terms of nucleonic wave function of the nucleus

The structure function of the nucleus in the cumulative region $x>1$ is studied in terms of nucleon degrees of freedom. At high $Q^2$ the resulting expressions are presented as a sum of contributions from few-nucleon correlations. Two-nucleon correlations are studied in some detail. Spin variables are averaged out. In the region $1<x<2$ the structure functions are calculated for the relativistic interaction proposed by F.Gross {\it et al}. They are found to fall with $x$ faster than the exponential. For Carbon at $x=1.05$, where the method is not rigorously applicable, they turn out to be rougly twice larger than the experimental data.
