Effective Theory for Neutron-deuteron Scattering and the Triton
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply the effective field theory approach to the three-nucleon system. In particular , we consider neutron-deuteron scattering and the triton. Precise predictions for S = 3/2 scattering are obtained in a straightforward way. In the S = 1/2 channel, however, a unique nonperturbative renormalization takes place which requires the introduction of a three-body force at leading order. We also show that invariance under the renormalization group explains some universal features of the three-nucleon system.

Effective Range in Doublet S-wave Neutron-Deuteron Scattering
The effective field theory approach is applied to the three-nucleon process of S = 1/2 neutron-deuteron scattering in the S-wave, including the effective range parameters summed at all orders. This is achieved through a modification of the power counting, following a recent suggestion in the literature. It is shown that with this procedure, while the convergence of the loop integrals improves, ...
متن کاملRegularized zero-range model and an application to the triton and the hypertriton
We examine the regularized zero-range model in an application to three-fermion systems – the triton and the hypertriton. We consider bound states and low-energy neutron-deuteron and lambda-deuteron scattering. The model is shown to provide an adequate quantitative description of these system on a par with finite-range potential models. The well known correlation between the doublet nd scatterin...

Low-energy doublet neutron-deuteron scattering is described on the basis of the triton bound and virtual state parameters — the energies and the nuclear vertex constants of these states. The van Oers-Seagrave formula is derived from the Bargmann representation of the S matrix for a system having two states. The presence of a pole in this formula is shown to be a direct corollary of the existenc...
متن کاملImproved Convergence in the Three-Nucleon System at Very Low Energies
Neutron-deuteron scattering in the context of “pion-less” Effective Field Theory at very low energies is investigated to next-to-next-to-leading order. Convergence is improved by fitting the two-nucleon contact interactions to the tail of the deuteron wave-function, a procedure known as Z-parameterisation and extended here to the three-nucleon system. The improvement is particularly striking in...
