Faddeev calculation for breakup neutron-deuteron scattering at 14.1 MeV lab energy

ORAL

Abstract

A new computational method for solving nucleon-deuteron breakup scattering problem has been applied to study inelastic neutron-deuteron scattering in the framework of configuration-space Faddeev-Noyes-Noble-Merkuriev equations. This method is based on the spline-decomposition in angular variable and on a generalization of the Numerov method for hyperradius. The Merkuriev-Gignoux-Laverne approach has been generalized for arbitrary nucleon-nucleon potentials and arbitrary number of partial waves. Neutron-deuteron observables at the incident nucleon energy 14.1 MeV have been calculated using the charge-independent Argonne AV14 nucleon-nucleon potential. Results have been compared with those of other authors and with experimental nucleon-deuteron scattering data.
