From 3 nucleons to 3 quarks

Abstract

Some short history of few-body methods originated from the famous Skornyakov-Ter-Martirosyan equation is given, including latest development of Faddeev formalism and Efimov states. The 3q system is shown to require an alternative, which is provided by the hyperspherical method (K-harmonics) which is highly successful for baryons.
