Nucleon-Deuteron Scattering from an Effective Field Theory

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We use an effective field theory to compute low-energy nucleon-deuteron scattering. We obtain the quartet scattering length using low energy constants entirely determined from low-energy nucleon-nucleon scattering. We find ath=6.33a_{th}=6.33 fm, to be compared to aexp=6.35±0.02a_{exp}=6.35\pm 0.02 fm.
