Abstract
We demonstrate explicitly how the rotational degrees of freedom in a quantu m three-body problem is separated completely from the internal ones. It is shown that only finite partial angular momentum states are involved in cons tructing the base-functions with the given angular momentum and parity, and the contributions by the remaining partial angular momentum states are inc orporated into the contributions by the generalized radial functions.
