Application of the $J$-matrix Method to Faddeev-Merkuriev equation: beyond pseudostates

Atomic Physics 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

A version of the JJ-matrix method for solving numerically the three-body Faddeev-Merkuriev differential equations is proposed. This version allows to take into account the full spectrum of the two-body Coulomb subsystem. As a result, a discrete analog of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation is obtained which allows to interpret correctly the three-body wave function in two-body domains. The scheme is applied to calculations of the fully resolved absolute differential cross sections for the He(e,2e)(e,2e)He+^+ and He(e,3e)(e,3e)He++^{++} reactions at small energy and momentum transfers. The results are in good agreement with the experiment both in shape and in absolute value.
