Resonant-state solution of the Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations for three-body systems with Coulomb-like potentials

Abstract

A novel method for calculating resonances in three-body Coulombic systems is presented. The Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations are solved by applying the Coulomb-Sturmian separable expansion method. To show the power of the method we calculate resonances of the three-$\alpha$ and the $H^{-}$ systems.
