Abstract:
We introduce an approach, based on the coordinate space Faddeev equations, to solve the quantum mechanical three-body Coulomb problem in the continuum. We apply the approach to compute measured properties of the first two 0 +0~+ levels in  12~{12}C, including the width of the excited level, in a three α\alpha-particle model. We use the two-body interaction which reproduces the low energy α\alpha-α\alpha scattering data and add a three-body force to account for the compound state admixture.
