The structure of the 9Be low-lying spectrum is studied within
the cluster model α+α+n. In the model, the total
orbital momentum is fixed for each energy level. Thus each level
is determined as a member of the spin-flip doublet corresponding
to the total orbital momentum (Lπ=0+, 2+,4+, 1−, 2−,3−, 4−)
of the system. The Ali-Bodmer potential (model E) is applied for
the αα interaction. We employ a local αn
potential which was constructed to reproduce the α−n
scattering data. The Pauli blocking is simulated by the repulsive
core of the s-wave components of these potentials.
Configuration-space Faddeev equations are used to calculate the energy
of the bound state (Ecalc=−1.493 MeV vs. Eexp=−1.5735 MeV)
and resonances. A variant of the method of analytical continuation
in the coupling constant is applied to calculate energies of the
low-lying levels. Available 9Be spectral data are satisfactorily
reproduced by the proposed model.
