(a–c) Plots of wave functions for the system in the states , and , respectively. The blue lines denote the wave functions for any two in the system. The red lines represent the wave functions for its subsystem . (d–f) Plots of the dependence of the total three-body binding energy on the two-body binding energy of the subsystem for the states , and , respectively. The left red point indicates the Critical Borromean state of the system. The right one is our numerical result when the two-body binding energy is chosen at 2.23 MeV.
