Pion production at threshold from nucleon-deuteron collisions is considered, with reference to the outgoing channel where the three-nucleon system is bound. The available experimental data are compared with calculations using accurate…

We present a scattering model for nuclei with similar masses. In this three-body model, the projectile has a core+valence structure, whereas the target is identical to the core nucleus. The three-body wave functions must be symmetrized for…

It is demonstrated that both elastic and inelastic $NN$ scattering at laboratory energies up to 600--800 MeV, at least in some partial waves characterized by a large inelasticity, can be described by a superposition of the conventional…
For the first time, elastic pion-nucleon scattering is analyzed in the framework of chiral perturbation theory up to fourth order with explicit $\Delta$ degrees of freedom. The analysis is performed within the heavy-baryon expansion as well…

I outline the effective field theory (EFT) calculation of nucleon-nucleon scattering which was recently carried out to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) by Noam Shoresh and myself. In this calculation only potential pion contributions…
We extend and systematise the power counting for the three-body system, in the context of the ``pion-less'' Effective Field Theory approach, to all orders in the low-energy expansion. We show that a sub-leading part of the three-body force…

We discuss a number of constraints on the effects of zero-range potentials in quantum mechanics. We show that for such a potential $p \cot(\delta)$, where $p$ is the momentum of the nucleon in the center of mass frame and $\delta$ is the…
We construct a phenomenological three-nucleon force (3NF) model that gives a good description of polarization observables in elastic nucleon-deuteron (N-$d$) scattering at a low energy together with a realistic nucleon-nucleon force and a…

We include two new three-nucleon-force terms of pion-range - short-range form in our momentum-space calculations for the three-nucleon continuum. These two terms are expected by chiral perturbation theory to be non-negligible. We study the…
