Momentum space Faddeev calculation ofHe3binding energy with N-NPandDwaves

Abstract
The homogeneous version of Coulomb modified Faddeev equations was used to determine the binding energy of He3. In the S01 and S13 3 D1 subsystem states, a separable representation of the Paris potential was taken for the N-N interaction; whereas less sophisticated separable potentials were employed in the P and D partial waves with j≤2. The influence of these latter higher N-N partial waves on the He3 binding energy was calculated for the first time within the nonperturbative Faddeev equation approach. The trinucleon binding energy differences were found to be compatible with Coulomb energies obtained in the framework of perturbation theory with local N-N potentials.
