✦ Synopsis
Reviews
particles are non-relativistic, then with the help of Faddeev's theory such systems csn be solved in some way exactly, if the forces are not of infinite range.
This book is an excellent introduction to this theory and its applications. The authors describe in detail much numerical work, and discuss the difficulties therein and how they can be handled. This book is a10 easy to read for students and experimental physicists. In the Introduction, the authors show that the three-body problem in nuclear physics is of special interest, because it yields information about the neutronneutron interaction and the off-shell behaviour of nuclear forces. Besides these, the problem of the off-shell electromagnetic form factors of nucleons can be investigated and also the simplest bound state of hypernuclei is a three-body system.
There exists already also a wealth of experimental information from scattering processes. If the target is a deuteron, protons, neutrons, pions and kaons can be scattered and measurements of the crosssections and polarization parameters can be made in the elastic and break-up channel. On the other side, deuteron scattering and pick-up reactions with nuclei can be investigated with the help of the Faddeev theory.
