The ground-state energies of three-body Coulomb systems calculated by the short-time Green function Monte Carlo method
Abstract
The short-time Green function Monte Carlo method is used to calculate the ground-state energies of the three-body systems e–2 e+, e–2µ+, H–(e–2 p+) and H–(∞). In each case high accuracy is attained by employing a carefully optimised trial wavefunction and by using an extrapolation technique to correct for the short-time approximation.
