A three-body force model for the harmonic and anharmonic oscillator
Abstract
We present a mathematical method to describe motion of a system based on 3 identical body forces. The 3-body forces are more easily introduced and treated within the hyperspherical harmonics. We have obtained an exact solution of the radial Schrödinger equation for a 3- body system in three dimensions. The interact potential V is assumed to depend on the hyperradius X only where X is a function of the Jacobi relative coordinates ρ and λ which are functions of the three identical particles, relative positions r12 , r23 and r31 . This method has been extensively used in nuclear and molecular physics. This work is interesting to those who are studying hadronic and bosonics physics and problems consisting three - body systems.
