Title: Convergence of Faddeev partial-wave series for triton ground state

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

An iterative technique was used to solve the Faddeev equations, which determine the bound state of the triton, for the Reid soft core, Argonne v/sub 14/, super soft core (C), and de Tourreil-Rouben-Sprung (B) potential models. Separate solutions for each model were generated for 5, 9, 18, 26, and 34 three-body channels, the latter corresponding to all two-nucleon partial waves with J< or =4. The results indicate that the odd partial waves do not contribute substantially to the energy, and that the J>4 partial waves probably contribute less than 10 keV. Coulomb energies, radii, and probability percentages of various wave function components were also calculated.
