We develop a method for calculating the bound and continuum energy spectrum of three particles interacting through both short-range and Coulomb potentials. Our method combines hyperspherical coordinates with the slow variable discretization approach. A complex absorbing potential is employed to describe accurately the continuum wave functions. The method is well known in atomic and molecular physics. It is extended here to nuclear physics, with a special emphasis on the long-range Coulomb interaction. The method is applied to compute the energy spectrum ofin a-particle model, focusing on an accurate calculation of the Hoyle resonance width of the narrow near-thresholdstate, which plays an important role in stellar nucleosynthesis. We employ an effectiveinteraction potential which reproduces both the energy and width of, while a three-body force is added in order to fix theenergy levels at the experimental values. We also analyze the structure of the bound and resonance states by calculating the wave functions and one-dimensional distribution functions.
