New method for triton calculations in momentum space

A new method for a solution of the bound-state Faddeev equations in momentum space is presented. The method takes advantage of an expansion of the Faddeev amplitude into a suitable set of basis states and uses the potential directly. To demonstrate the practicability we have recalculated the triton binding energy for the Reid soft-core potential including all partial waves up to a maximal subsystem angular momentum $j=2$. We found EB=-7.56±0.10 MeV. The Reid potential truncated to the ¹S₀ and ³S₁-³D₁ states yields EB=-7.53±0.08 MeV.NUCLEAR STRUCTURE ³H; calculate binding energy; include all partial waves of Read potential up to J≤2; Faddeev approach.
