TENSOR FORCE IN SEPARABLE POTENTIAL MODEL OF NEUTRON-DEUTERON COLLISIONS

The collision problem for a model of the neutron-deuteron system with a tensor force has been reduced to a set of coupled one-dimensional integral equations. The model uses the central plus tensor separable potential of Yamaguchi for the triplet two-body interaction, and a rank-one, S-wave, separable potential for the singlet interaction For J 1 2 the three-body problem is reduced to a set of four coupled equations for each parity, and for J = 1 2 to three coupled equations for each parity In the J = 1 2 even parity case the equations are equivalent to those obtained by previous workers. © 1969.
