Convergence of a separable expansion method in three-nucleon calculations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The efficiency of a separable expansion method proposed by Ernst, Shakin, and Thaler is examined in three-nucleon calculations. Separable approximations with increasing accuracy are constructed for the /sup 1/S/sub 0/ and /sup 3/S/sub 1/-/sup 3/D/sub 1/ partial waves of the Paris potential. With these models we compute the three-body bound state and observables of the nucleon-deuteron scattering. The stability of the three-nucleon results is investigated as a function of the number of terms in the separable representation. Convergence is observed already for a few terms retained.
