We consider a new three-nucleon force generated by the exchange of one pion in the presence of a 2N correlation. The underlying irreducible diagram has been recently suggested by the authors as a possible candidate to explain the puzzle of…

We analyze the results by chiral NN models for the two-nucleon system and calculate the predictions for the nucleon vector analyzing power of elastic nucleon-deuteron (Nd) scattering, Ay, by these models. Our conclusion is that a…

We present measurements of the analyzing powers Ay and iT11 for proton-deuteron scattering at Ecm=432 keV. Calculations using a realistic nucleon-nucleon potential (Argonne V18) are found to underpredict both analyzing powers by 40. The…
Using modern nucleon-nucleon interactions in the description of the $A=3,4$ nuclei, it is not possible to reproduce both the three- and four-nucleon binding energies simultaneously. This is one manifestation of the necessity of including a…
We study relativistic corrections to nuclear interactions caused by boosting the two-nucleon interaction to a frame in which their total momentum does not vanish. These corrections induce a change in the computed value of the…
We solve the Faddeev equation in an exactly Poincare invariant formulation of the three-nucleon problem. The dynamical input is a relativistic nucleon-nucleon interaction that is exactly on-shell equivalent to the high precision CDBonn NN…
In order to improve the description of the N-d vector analyzing powers Ay and iT11 (the so-called Ay puzzle) a spin-orbit three-body force has been introduced. The L.S term in the NN potential has been modified including a two-parameter…
Recent experimental results in three-body systems have unambiguously shown that calculations based on nucleon-nucleon forces fail to accurately describe many experimental observables and one needs to include effects which are beyond the…
Polarization observables in neutron-deuteron scattering are calculated to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order ($\mathrm{N}^{3}\mathrm{LO}$) in pionless effective field theory ($\mathrm{EFT}_{\not{\pi}}$). At $\mathrm{N}^{3}\mathrm{LO}$…
