Resonant-State Solution of the Faddeev-Merkuriev Integral Equations for Three-Body Systems with Coulomb-like Potentials

A novel method for calculating resonances in three-body Coulombic systems is presented. The Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations are solved by applying the Coulomb-Sturmian separable expansion method. To show the power of the method we calculate resonances of the three-α and the H − systems.
