The general configuration-space Faddeev formalism for studying pd scattering

Abstract

The configuration-space Faddeev equations are derived for p-d scattering taking into account the difference in interaction between the participant particles. Appropriate modifications have been made in the well-known configuration-space equations for n-d scattering. To show the effect of these modifications, the s-wave calculations are performed for bound state and scattering problems. We model the charge symmetry breaking effect for 3H and 3He with a modified Malfliet-Tjon MT I-III potential. Results obtained for elastic n-d and p-d scattering at Elab=14.1 MeV are compared with our prediction (Ref. [1]) and those of the Los-Alamos/Iowa group (Ref. [2]) .
