By calculating the contribution of the $\pi-\pi$ three-body force to the three-nucleon binding energy in terms of the $\pi N$ amplitude using perturbation theory, we are able to determine the contribution of the different $\pi N$ partial…
One-dimensional systems of interacting atoms are an ideal laboratory to study the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. In the renormalization group picture there is essentially a two-parameter phase diagram to explore. We first present how…
The semi-exponential basis set of radial functions (A.M. Frolov, Physics Letters A {\bf 374}, 2361 (2010)) is used for variational computations of bound states in three-electron atomic systems. It appears that semi-exponential basis set has…
