Abstract
The main goal of the project is the development of the Correlation Function Hyperspherical Harmonic Method (CFHHM) and its application to few-body problems, especially in atomic physics. In contrast to other methods, especially the variational method, CFHHM actually solves the Schroedinger equation, which enables it to give a locally precise wave function in the whole space. The precision may reach 8 decimal places. This makes it possible to apply CFHHM to some observables in the atomic physics systems which depend on the structure of the wave function in the parts of space where two particles are close together and the other particles are at a distance. A part of the project consists of optimization of the correlation function, which serves as a mathematical device for convergence acceleration, such that a not too large number of coupled differential equations is required, i.e., below 600. Typical applications so far were to various level splittings and relativistic corrections to observables in the Helium atom, muonic Helium, and muonic molecules relevant in muonic catalyzed fusion.
