Description of Four- and Five-Nucleon Systems by Solving Faddeev-Yakubovsky Equations in Configuration Space

Understand

The Faddeev Yakubovsky equations constitute a rigorous formulation of the quantum mechanical N body problem in the framework of non relativistic dynamics.

• They allow the exact solutions of the Schrodinger equation for bound and scattering states to be obtained.
• In this review, we will present the general formalism as well as the numerical tools we use to solve Faddeev Yakubovsky equations in configuration space.
• We will consider in detail the description of the four and five nucleon systems based on modern realistic nuclear Hamiltonians.
