Abstract
Cold three-body recombination between helium and silver atoms is studied using hyperspherical coordinates. The three-body Schrodinger equation, represented in the slow variable discretization approach at short distances and in the adiabatic method at large distances and using the potential-energy surface represented as the addition of realistic He-He and He-Ag pair interaction potentials, is solved using the R-matrix propagation method, in order to numerically calculate the three-body recombination rates for the He+He+Ag\(\rightarrow \)He\(_2\)+Ag and He+He+Ag\(\rightarrow \)HeAg+He processes. Not only zero-angular momentum \(J=0\) states but also \(J>0\) states are considered in the calculations, allowing for treating the recombination processes at collision energies beyond the threshold regime. The results of our calculations will be presented and discussed.
期刊介绍:
The journal Few-Body Systems presents original research work – experimental, theoretical and computational – investigating the behavior of any classical or quantum system consisting of a small number of well-defined constituent structures. The focus is on the research methods, properties, and results characteristic of few-body systems. Examples of few-body systems range from few-quark states, light nuclear and hadronic systems; few-electron atomic systems and small molecules; and specific systems in condensed matter and surface physics (such as quantum dots and highly correlated trapped systems), up to and including large-scale celestial structures.
Systems for which an equivalent one-body description is available or can be designed, and large systems for which specific many-body methods are needed are outside the scope of the journal.
The journal is devoted to the publication of all aspects of few-body systems research and applications. While concentrating on few-body systems well-suited to rigorous solutions, the journal also encourages interdisciplinary contributions that foster common approaches and insights, introduce and benchmark the use of novel tools (e.g. machine learning) and develop relevant applications (e.g. few-body aspects in quantum technologies).
