A quantum mechanical theory for the ℏω+AB→A+B++e- three body breakup is presented. The theory is based on the Continuum Coupled Channels expansion (CCC) in which the three body wave-function is expanded in terms of square integrable and (flux carrying) continuum states. The theory consistently treats the accompanying processes of three body inelastic collisions, dissociative attachment and Penning ionization. Applications to the dissociative photoionization of H2 and HD are presented. The relevant equations are solved exactly using the Artificial Channel method. Excellent agreement is obtained with experiment, concerning the proton kinetic energy distribution.

We present analyses of breakup effects of 6 He on the elastic scattering by the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method, in which the reaction system is described as a four-body model, n+n+4 He +target. In this analysis, three-body breakup continuum of 6 He is discretized by daiagonalizing the internal Hamiltonian of 6 He in a space spanned by the Gaussian basis functions. The calculated elastic cross sections are in good agreement with the experimental data, which shows that nuclear and Coulomb breakup effects are significant.

We investigate the three-body Coulomb breakup reaction of two-neutron halo nuclei 11 Li , where we adopt the extended three-body model of 11 Li with paying attention to the pairing correlation of the nuclei, and also employ the complex scaling method (CSM) to solve the three-body unbound states of 11 Li . From the results, we cannot find any dipole resonances, at least, having small decay widths. This means that the breakup strength is exhausted by the continuum states. We compare the obtained strength showing the low energy enhancement to the several experimental data.

A brief history of the continuum shell model with full correction for target recoil is provided. Past applications to nucleon induced reactions, nucleon capture, knockout reactions by pions and electrons, and strangeness exchange reactions are provided. Recent progress of the model is reviewed. Examples of continuum states for p-shell nuclei, derived from both two and three-body interactions, are given. Finally, the general model is presented in which any core states and any states of the composite system may be incorporated in a calculation.

We use a simple system, the electron configuration in a hydrogen-like atom, to demonstrate the importance of using a complete basis set to provide a proper quantum mechanical description. We first start with what may be considered a successful strategy — to diagonalize a truncated Hamiltonian matrix, written in a basis consisting of hydrogen (Z = 1) basis states. This fails to provide the correct answer, and we then demonstrate that the continuum basis states provided the rest of the true wave function, for the bound ground states. This work then shows, in a relatively simple system, the need to utilize a complete basis set, consisting of both bound and continuum states.
