New nuclear three-body clusters φNN

The Algebraic Cluster Model. Three-body Clusters *

A new method is introduced to study three-body clusters. Triangular configurations with D 3h point-group symmetry are analyzed. The spectrum, transition form factors and B(Eλ) values of 12 C are investigated. It is concluded that the low-lying spectrum of 12 C can be described by three alpha-particles at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, but not as a rigid structure. Large rotation-vibra...

Three Quark Clusters in Hot and Dense Nuclear Matter

We present a relativistic in-medium three-body equation to study correlations in hot and dense quark matter. The equation is solved for a zero-range force for parameters close to the phase transition of QCD.

Three-Body Encounters of Black Holes in Globular Clusters

Evidence has been mounting for the existence of black holes with masses from 102 to 104 M⊙ associated with stellar clusters. Such intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) will encounter other black holes in the dense cores of these clusters. The binaries produced in these interactions will be perturbed by other objects as well thus changing the orbital characteristics of the binaries. These binari...

Nuclear matter EOS with a three-body force

The effect of a microscopic three-body force on the saturation properties of nuclear matter is studied within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach. The calculations show a decisive improvement of the saturation density along with an overall agreement with the empirical saturation point. With the three-body force the symmetry energy turns more rapidly increasing with density, which allows for the...
