Abstract
The nucleus , together with its first excited state *, is treated as a three-body problem consisting of an particle, a proton, and a neutron, interacting through separable potentials in pairs. The potential includes a tensor force in addition to a central (-wave) term of the Yamaguchi type. The -wave part of the potential is parametrized in terms of the sum of a central and a small spin-orbit term which fits the experimental and phase shifts quite accurately. The smallness of the spin-orbit part justifies its omission from the full three-body equations. The binding energies and the wave functions for the ground () and excited () states of are calculated by solving the coupled Faddeev equations numerically. The calculated binding energy for the state is a little higher than, and that for the state a little lower than, the corresponding experimental values, corrected for Coulomb effects.
