T -Matrix Perturbation Theory for the Three-Nucleon System with the Reid Potential

Journal Article · · Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics
The binding energy of /sup 3/H for the Reid soft-core /sup 1/So and /sup 3/S/ sub 1/-/sup 3/D/sub 1/ potentials was determined, using T-matrix penturbation theory, to be 7.02 MeV. The one-terin separable approximation to the Reid potential, constructed using the deuteron wave function in the /sup 3/S/ sub 1/-/sup 3/D/sub 1/ channel and the form factor aasociated with the antibound state in thc /sup 1/S/sub 0/ channel, gave a binding energy of 7.15 MeV. This is close enough to the exact answer to be very useful in realistic three-nucleon calculations. It also demonstrates the important contribution that the two-body bound-state wave functions make to the triton binuing energy. (auth)
