Relativistic ${}^3$He light-front wave function

Abstract

The relativistic light-front (LF) wave function of ${}^3$He is determined by the three-body LF equation for the Faddeev components in the momentum space. As an interaction, we take the one-meson exchange kernels, without the potential approximation. Within the explicitly covariant formulation of LF dynamics, we calculate the full relativistic ${}^3$He LF wave function, comprising 32 spin-isospin components. In the non-relativistic domain, five of these components dominate and closely resemble their non-relativistic counterparts. Relativistic effects manifest themselves in deviations in relativistic domain of these components from the non-relativistic ones and in appearance of new components.
