Motivated by recent HAL QCD simulations of the $\phi N$ interaction in the $^4S_{3/2}$ channel and its modification in the $^2S_{1/2}$ channel, we develop a first-principles few-body framework that embeds these potentials into…
The projection method is used to demonstrate the existence of positron attachment to three doubly excited states of helium. The e^+He(2s^2 1Se), e^+He(3s^2 1Se), and the e^+He(2s2p 3Po) states have binding energies of 0.447eV, 0.256eV and…
