Summary
A method based upon the expansion of the wave function of few interacting particles onto a complete set of basis functions constructed by including a correlation factor into the harmonic-oscillator basis is developed. The results for three nucleons interacting via the Malflet-Tjon potential are presented and compared with Faddeev and Green’s function Monte Carlo results. Preliminary results of the application of the method to more realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions and to the 3α system are briefly discussed.
