Abstract

For charged three-body systems, we discuss the configurations and orientations that are admissible for given values of the conserved total energy and angular momentum. The admissible configurations and orientations are discussed on a configuration space that is reduced by the translational, rotational and dilation symmetries of charged three-body systems. We consider the examples of the charged three-body systems given by the helium atom (two electrons and a nucleus) and the compound of two electrons and one positron. For comparison, the well known example of the Newtonian gravitational three-body system is discussed for the scheme presented in this paper first.
