This expansion reduces the Yakubovsky differential equations to a system of coupled-channel equations for functions depending on the relative coordinates between the subsystems of the two-cluster partitions. On the basis of the resulting equations the four-nucleon bound-state problem and the zero-energy n-t scattering problem are solved on the relatively small computer.LaTeX, Submitted to Physics of Atomic NucleiNuclear TheoryCluster reduction of the four-body Yakubovsky equations in configuration space for bound-state problem and low-energy scatteringtext
