Structure of light nuclei
Description of three-body systems using the adiabatic development in hyperspherical harmonics, taking Jacobi coordinates, and rotating the radial coordinates in the complex plane, which allows energies to be complex (complex scaling) and enables us to study resonances as if they were bound states.
