Mass-Energy Equivalence in Bound Three-Nucleon Systems

Abstract: The mass defect formula reflects the equivalence of mass and energy for bound nuclear systems. We consider the three-nucleon systems 3 H and 3 He assuming the neutron and proton to be indistinguishable particles (AAA model) or taking into account realistic masses for neutrons and protons (AAB model). We discuss the disagreement between the AAA model and the mass defect formula, which is related naturally to the AAB model. Also, we demonstrate that ignoring the neutronproton mass difference leads to the uncerta… Show more

“…It was shown in Ref. 1 that a decrease in kinetic energy can be compensated by an increase in the attractive contribution of potential energy. The corresponding calculations for 3 H and 3 He nuclei have been performed using the Faddeev method in the configuration space.…”

“…The effective-mass approach for three-particle systems was proposed in Ref. 1 based on the effect of a mass-energy compensation that takes place for a three-body Hamiltonian. This compensation manifests the mass-energy equivalence in bound nuclear systems.…”
