Abstract

We present three-body nonrelativistic calculations within the framework of a potential model for the kaonic cluster Kpp{K^-}pp using two completely different methods: the method of hyperspherical harmonics in the momentum representation and the method of Faddeev equations in configuration space. To perform a numerical benchmark, different NNNN and antikaon-nucleon interactions are applied. The results of the calculations for the ground state energy for the Kpp{K^-}pp system obtained by both methods are in reasonable agreement. Although the ground state energy is not sensitive to the NNNN interaction, it shows very strong dependence on the K_N\overset{\_}{K}N potential. We show that the dominant clustering of the Kpp{K^-}pp system in the configuration Λ(1405)+p\Lambda (1405)+p allows us to calculate the binding energy to good accuracy within a simple cluster approach for the differential Faddeev equations. The theoretical discrepancies in the binding energy and width for the Kpp{K^-}pp system related to the different NNNN and K_N\overset{\_}{K}N interactions are addressed.
