Two-neutron halo nuclei offer a fascinating probe into the behaviour of quantum few-body systems at the limits of binding. Although few nuclei have already been clearly identified, many of their properties remain poorly constrained.…
Different models for conserved two- and three-body electromagnetic currents are constructed from two- and three-nucleon interactions, using either meson-exchange mechanisms or minimal substitution in the momentum dependence of these…
We develop a computationally and numerically efficient method to calculate binding energies and corresponding wave functions of quantum mechanical three-body problems in low dimensions. Our approach exploits the tensor structure of the…
The four nucleons in $^8$Li outside the $\alpha$-particle ($\alpha=^4$He) can be divided into pairs of one neutron ($n$) and 3 nucleons in the triton ($t=^3$H), or 2 in the deuteron ($d=^2$H) and two neutrons in a dineutron ($^2n$). The…
A new variational basis with well-behaved local approximation properties and multiple output is proposed for Coulomb systems. The trial function has proper behaviour at all Coulomb centres. Nonlinear asymptotic parameters are introduced…
The role of the three-body interactions in the ground-states of 3H and 4He nuclei has been investigated by using two different methods. Accordingly, the ground-state nuclear wave functions, the binding energies, the root mean-square radii…
Three-body correlations in the dissociation of two-neutron halo nuclei are explored using a technique based on intensity interferometry and Dalitz plots. This provides for the combined treatment of both the n-n and core-n interactions in…
Exact and asymptotic lineshape expressions are derived from the semi-classical density matrix representation describing a set of closed three-level atomic or molecular states including decoherences, relaxation rates and light-shifts. An…
We have observed recently the Stark-tuned three-body F\"orster resonances ${\rm 3}\times nP_{3/2} (|M|)\to nS_{1/2} +(n+1)S_{1/2} +nP_{3/2} (|M^{*} |)$ at long-range interactions of a few cold Rb Rydberg atoms [D.B.Tretyakov et al., Phys.…
Three-body F\"orster resonances controlled by a dc electric field are of interest for the implementation of three-qubit quantum gates with single atoms captured in optical traps and laser-excited into strongly interacting Rydberg states. In…
The problem of calculating the four--nucleon bound state properties for the case of realistic two- and three-body nuclear potentials is studied using the hyperspherical harmonic (HH) approach. A careful analysis of the convergence of…
Background: The electric dipole strength detected around the particle threshold and commonly associated to the pygmy dipole resonance offers a unique information on neutron skin and symmetry energy, and is of astrophysical interest. The…
We discuss the energy of the excited 2$^+$ state in the unbound nucleus $^{26}$O using the three-body model of $^{24}$O+$n$+$n$. This model fully takes into account the continuum effects as well as the dineutron correlation of the valence…
The first baryon resonance was discovered in the early 1950s. The Roper resonance joined the collection ten years later. Today, many baryon resonances are known and more are being discovered. As baryons, these states are the most…
We study a system of two bosons of one species and a third boson of a second species in a one-dimensional parabolic trap at zero temperature. We assume contact repulsive inter- and intra-species interactions. By means of an exact…
We have studied the three-particle decay of 12C, 9Be and 6Be resonances. These nuclei have been described as three-body systems by means of the complex scaled hyperspherical adiabatic expansion method. The short-distance part of the…
We address the problem of calculating momentum distributions of particles emerging from the three-body decay of a many-body resonance. We show that these distributions are determined by the asymptotics of the coordinate-space complex-energy…
Classes of two-nucleon ($2N$) contact interactions are developed in configuration space at leading order (LO), next-to-leading order (NLO), and next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) by fitting the experimental singlet $np$ scattering…
We study the ground and excited resonance states of $^{26}$O with a three-body model of $^{24}$O+n+n taking into account the coupling to the continuum. To this end, we use the new experimental data for the invariant mass spectroscopy of the…
We have investigated S-wave bound states composed of three identical bosons interacting via regulated delta function potentials in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. For low-energy systems, these short-range potentials serve as an…
