Traditionally solved by Partial Wave Decomposition scheme

At low energy (<250MeV): practically works well

At high energy(>250MeV): more and more PWs are needed

algebraically and computationally difficult

Three Dimensional Calculation:Solving Faddeev equation directly in vector momentum space

Applicable to high energy case in order to explore few-body dynamics at short distance, especially the inclusion of 3BF and relativity.

Variables invariant under rotation:

freedom to choose coordinate system for numerical convenience

q system : z || q

q0 system : z || q0

Angular Relations in q system

Working in q system simplified the structure of moving pole

3D integral equation with 5 variables Solved iteratively by Pade summation

The position of the pole in three-body propagator depends on q, q” and x”

Rescattering Effects

Elab =200 MeV

1. Forward: 103 mb

2. Backward: 100-101 mb

3. Adding term by term:

monotonically toward convergence

4. Rescattering terms are important

Rescattering Effects

Elab=500MeV

1. Forward: 102-103 mb

2. Backward: 10-2 – 10-1mb

3. Adding term by term:

alternatively toward convergence

4. Rescattering terms are still important

1st rescattering

Summary & Outlook

• The property of rescattering effects has strong energy dependence.

• Study convergence of multiple scattering series through breakup observables at different energy regions and kinematic configurations.

• Check “typical” “high energy” approximations (Glauber)
