Exact Calculation ofn−dScattering at 14.1 MeV with a Local Realistic Interaction: Elastic-Channel Results

Abstract

The Faddeev differential equations in configuration space are solved numerically for the nucleon-nucleon interaction of de Tourreil and Sprung effective in the states ${}_{}{}^1{}_{}{}^{}S_0^{}{}_{}{}^{}$, ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}D_1^{}{}_{}{}^{}$, ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}D_1^{}{}_{}{}^{}$, ${}_{}{}^1{}_{}{}^{}P_1^{}{}_{}{}^{}$, and ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}P_{0,1,2}^{}{}_{}{}^{}$. Differential cross section, polarizations $P_n$, $i{T}_{11}$, $Q$, and $R$, and spin correlation coefficients $C_{\mathrm{xx}}$ and $C_{\mathrm{yy}}$ are computed here. Contributions from other interaction terms are evaluated perturbatively. Agreement with experimental data is found, except for the vector polarization $i{T}_{11}$, and $C_{\mathrm{xx}}$.
