The form of the wave function at three-electron coalescence points is examined for several spin states using an alternative method to the usual Fock expansion. We find that, in two- and three-dimensional systems, the non-analytical nature…
Experiments at DA$\Phi$NE-Frascati and at J-PARC are scheduled to produce $K^-$D atoms and observe their X-ray cascade down to the 1$S$ ground state (g.s.), thereby measuring its strong-interaction width and shift away from a purely Coulomb…
