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 N+1N+1 equations whose solutions form the eigenspace of the angulon operator, where 1N<1\leq N<\infty is the number of phonon excitations. Using this result we estimate the infimum of the spectrum. In the special case N=1N=1, the lowest energy approximates to the value which is already known in the literature. Our findings indicate that two-phonon excitations (N=2N=2) contribute notably to the energy of a molecule in superfluid 4^4He.
