Ab initio calculations of 5H resonant states

Abstract

By solving the 5-body Faddeev-Yakubovsky equations in configuration space with realistic nuclear Hamiltonians we have studied the resonant states of $^5$H isotope. Two different methods, allowing to bypass the exponentially diverging boundary conditions, have been employed providing consistent results. The existence of $^5$H broad J$^π$=1/2$^+$,3/2$^+$,5/2$^+$ states as S-matrix poles has been confirmed and compared with the, also calculated, resonant states in $^4$H isotope. We have established that the positions of these resonances only mildly depend on the nuclear interaction model.
