Asymptotic wave function for three charged particles in the continuum
- Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843 (United States)
We present an improved version of the wave function derived by Alt and Mukhamedzhanov [Phys. Rev. A {bold 47}, 2004(1993)] that satisfies the Schr{umlt o}dinger equation up to terms of order {ital O}(1/{rho}{sub {alpha}}{sup 2}) in the region where the pair {alpha}=({beta},{gamma}) remains close, while the third particle {alpha} moves to infinity ({rho}{sub {alpha}}{r_arrow}{infinity}). The new wave function contains the zeroth- and all the first-order {ital O}(1/{rho}{sub {alpha}}) terms, and matches smoothly Redmond{close_quote}s asymptotics and the Redmond-Merkuriev wave function when all three particles are well separated. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
