Abstract

We discuss a numerical method to determine the binding energy and the wave function for a three-body system. Radial wave functions of the form g1(r1)g2(r2)g3(r3) are used, r1, r2, and r3 being the interparticle distances. The method is applied to He3 and H3 with central forces and hard core to show the accuracy and the speed of the calculation.
