Application of the quasiparticle formalism to neutron-deuteron scattering with local soft-core nucleon-nucleon potentials

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The quasiparticle approach which exactly reduces the three-body Faddeev formalism to an effective two-body theory is a general starting point for deriving approximation schemes. Practical methods, currently in use for solving the effective two-body equations, follow from it as special cases. A new procedure is proposed which is well suited for local nucleon-nucleon interactions containing repulsion. Its effectiveness is tested by calculating the triton binding energy and elastic neutron-deuteron scattering data for the soft-core potentials of Malfliet and Tjon. Particular emphasis is laid on extracting the influence of higher subsystem partial wave contributions of these potentials.
