A new method of description of three-particle Coulombic systems

Abstract

We present a method for treatment of three charged particles. The proposed method has universal character and is applicable both for bound and continuum states. A finite rank approximation is used for Coulomb potential in three-body system Hamiltonian, that results in a system of one-dimensional coupled integral equations. Preliminary numerical results for three-body atomic and molecular systems like $H^{-}$, He, $pp\mu$ and other are presented.
