A method is developed for calculation of cross sections for elastic scattering in a system of three particles at low collision energies. The method consists of expansion of the wave function of the system in an adiabatic basis and reduction of the ensuing multichannel scattering problem with a large number of closed channels (about 300) to an eigenvalue problem. The possibilities of the method are demonstrated by a calculation of the cross section for elastic scattering of mesic hydrogen by the nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes.
