Multivariable hypergeometric solutions for three charged particles

We present a new wavefunction which describes the ion-atom problem above the ionization threshold. This is an approximate solution of the Schrödinger equation for the three-body Coulomb problem that can be expressed in terms of a confluent hypergeometric function of two variables. The proposed wavef...

Sumario:We present a new wavefunction which describes the ion-atom problem above the ionization threshold. This is an approximate solution of the Schrödinger equation for the three-body Coulomb problem that can be expressed in terms of a confluent hypergeometric function of two variables. The proposed wavefunction includes correlation among the motions of the three particles and verifies the correct Coulombic asymptotic behaviours.
