Abstract
We studied the Coulombic transformation of potential in momentum space. The Coulombic transformation is defined as a unitary transformation in momentum space, which is equivalent of the Coulomb–Fourier transformation in coordinate space. The analytic continuation scheme avoids the difficulty which is occurred from the singularity of the Coulomb wave function in momentum space. We adopted the point method to perform the analytic continuation. The validity of the new scheme is checked by comparing with the analytic solution for the Malfliet-Tjon potential. Numerical calculation of the integration was done by separating into four intervals. We demonstrate the high accuracy of our calculation.
