Nonsingular representation of three-body equations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
An alternate representation of the three-body scattering equations of Alt, Grassberger, and Sandhas is suggested. Like the formulation of Karlsson and Zeiger these equations require only two-body bound-state wave functions and half-off-shell transition amplitudes as input and contain three-body energy-independent effective potentials which become real after partial-wave decomposition. It is emphasized that such representations are particularly suitable for writing singularity-free momentum-space integral equations in the scattering region. One scheme for writing such equations is discussed.
