Abstract
The correlation function is a useful tool to study the interaction between hadrons. The theoretical description of this observable requires the knowledge of the scattering wave function, whose asymptotic part is distorted when two or more particles are charged. For a system of three (or more) particles, with more than two particles asymptotically free and at least two of them charged, the asymptotic part of the wave function is not known in a closed form. In the present study we introduce a screened Coulomb potential and analyze the impact of the screening radius on the correlation function. As we will show, when a sufficiently large screening radius is used, the correlation function results almost unchanged if compared to the case in which the unscreened Coulomb potential is used. This fact allows the use of free asymptotic matching conditions in the solution of the scattering equation simplifying noticeably the calculation of the correlation function. As an illustration we discuss the pp and ppp correlation functions.
期刊介绍：
The journal Few-Body Systems presents original research work – experimental, theoretical and computational – investigating the behavior of any classical or quantum system consisting of a small number of well-defined constituent structures. The focus is on the research methods, properties, and results characteristic of few-body systems. Examples of few-body systems range from few-quark states, light nuclear and hadronic systems; few-electron atomic systems and small molecules; and specific systems in condensed matter and surface physics (such as quantum dots and highly correlated trapped systems), up to and including large-scale celestial structures.
Systems for which an equivalent one-body description is available or can be designed, and large systems for which specific many-body methods are needed are outside the scope of the journal.
The journal is devoted to the publication of all aspects of few-body systems research and applications. While concentrating on few-body systems well-suited to rigorous solutions, the journal also encourages interdisciplinary contributions that foster common approaches and insights, introduce and benchmark the use of novel tools (e.g. machine learning) and develop relevant applications (e.g. few-body aspects in quantum technologies).
