Momentum space calculation of³He bound-state energies

Momentum space Faddeev equations that include also the Coulomb force are solved for the³H and³He binding energies. Separable nucleon-nucleon potentials with varying deuteron D-state probability are for the first time employed in a momentum space³He binding energy calculation utilizing an angular-momentum truncation. The resulting Coulomb energy roughly scales with the trinucleon binding energy. Coulomb energies calculated with a separable representation of the Paris potential are compared with configuration space results obtained with local potentials.
