Three body elastic scattering in the shape independent representation

POSTER

Abstract

Exact solutions of the three-body Schrödinger equation with shape independent two-body interactions are obtained in closed form. A consistency equation relating the wave equation at large distances to the wave function where the three particles coincide is derived. Our solution satisfies this relation to high order.
