Abstract: (APS)
A method for solving Faddeev equations in configuration space is used to study the state of three nucleons bound in a Reid potential. Including D states for the spectator particle gives a binding energy of 6.6 MeV, probabilities PS′=1.9%, PD=7.9%, and a charge radius rc(He3)=1.97 fm; the dip in the charge form factor is found at q2=14.5 fm−2.
