Description

The dynamical treatment of the nonrelativistic three-body problem with Coulomb and short-range interactions is reexamined. The screening technique is abandoned in favor of the general two-potential formalism and a set of well-behaved three-body equations is derived. An approximate Alt-Grassberger-Sandhas-type form of the new equations is also proposed that treats the long-range polarizability forces to first order and preserves post-prior symmetry
