Quartet S Wave Neutron Deuteron Scattering in Effective Field Theory

Abstract

The real and imaginary part of the quartet S wave phase shift in nd scattering (^4 S_{3/2}) for centre-of-mass momenta of up to 300 MeV (E_cm \approx 70 MeV) is presented in effective field theory, using both perturbative pions and a theory in which pions are integrated out. As available, the calculation agrees with both experimental data and potential model calculations, but extends to a higher, so far untested momentum r\'egime above the deuteron breakup point. A Lagrangean more feasible for numerical computations is derived.
