Four-body bound states from the Schrodinger equation with separable potentials

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

The coupled, two-variable integral equations that determine the four-body bound state, when the interactions are represented by separable potentials, are derived from the Schrodinger equation instead of the Yakubovsky t-matrix equations. The integral equations are solved numerically for simple s-wave potentials without resort to separable expansions of their kernels. For rank-one potentials the ..cap alpha.. particle is severely overbound. Sensitivity to the singlet effective range and the tensor component of the triplet interaction is discussed. (AIP)
