Abstract
We present a new wavefunction which describes the ion-atom problem abo ve the ionization threshold. This is an approximate solution of the Sc hrodinger equation for the three-body Coulomb problem that can be expr essed in terms of a confluent hypergeometric function of two variables . The proposed wavefunction includes correlation among the motions of the three particles and verifies the correct Coulombic asymptotic beha viours.
