Description

The 4He3 system is investigated using a hard-core version of the Faddeev differential equations. Realistic 4He-4He interactions are employed, among them the LM2M2 potential by Aziz and Slaman and the recent TTY potential by Tang, Toennies and Yiu. We calculate the binding energies of the 4He trimer, but concentrate in particular on scattering observables. The scattering lengths and the atom-diatom phase shifts are calculated for center of mass energies up to 2.45 mK. It is found that the LM2M2 and TTY potentials, although of quite different structure, give practically the same bound-state and scattering results. (orig.)
