Two-particle resonance poles and the energy spectra of three- and four-particle systems

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

The position of the two-particle resonance poles is shown to be the dominant factor in a number of interesting phenomena appearing in the energy spectra of bound three- and four-particle systems with separable two-particle interactions. The validity of the bound-state pole dominance assumption in few-particle systems is shown to depend on the location of the two-particle resonance poles. These results generalize the ground state collapse obtained earlier for the Tabakin rank-one separable interactions in the triton. However, our results also indicate that the collapse does not necessarily occur for more general nonlocal interactions.
