Explicitly correlated Gaussians with tensor pre-factors: analytic matrix elements

Abstract

We consider a specific form of explicitly correlated Gaussians -- with tensor pre-factors -- which appear naturally when dealing with certain few-body systems in nuclear and particle physics. We derive analytic matrix elements with these Gaussians -- overlap, kinetic energy, and Coulomb potential -- to be used in variational calculations of those systems. We also perform a quick test of the derived formulae by applying them to p- and d-waves of the hydrogen atom.
