Radial equation<br />

Assume a simple V (r) without spin dependence, and let<br />

Ψ = uℓ(r)<br />

r<br />

ℓz<br />

Yℓ (ˆr) × spin × colour ,<br />

Thus for u = uℓ(r) (no dependence upon ℓz)<br />

−u ′′ (r) +<br />

ℓ(ℓ + 1)<br />

r 2<br />

u(r) + m V (r) u(r) = m E u(r) ,<br />

with boundary conditions u(0) = u(∞) = 0<br />

Exactly solvable in a few cases<br />

Coulomb, see section on a<strong>to</strong>ms<br />

HO, reduces <strong>to</strong> −u ′′ (r) + ℓ(ℓ + 1) u(r)/r 2 + r 2 u(r) = ɛ u(r) , with<br />

ɛ = 3 + 4 (n − 1) + 2 ℓ = 3 + 2 N<br />

Linear for ℓ = 0<br />
