description

Abstract Power-law ( r α ) confining interactions are considered in the Schrodinger equation with a hyperangular momentum, which corresponds to the lowest order of the hyperspherical harmonic expansion for an N -particle system. It is shown that the product of the first odd-parity excitation energy times the mean square radius is independent of the exponent α of the potential within a few percent. This universal relation is extended to other states.
