Direct integral description of angulon
Abstract
We propose a representation of angulon in which the angulon operator is decomposable relative to the field of Hilbert spaces over the probability measure space, and the probability measure corresponds to the total-number operator of phonons. In this representation we are able to find the system of equations whose solutions form the eigenspace of the angulon operator, where is the number of phonon excitations. Using this result we estimate the infimum of the spectrum. In the special case , the lowest energy approximates to the value which is already known in the literature. Our findings indicate that two-phonon excitations () contribute notably to the energy of a molecule in superfluid He.
