A complete set of total cross sections for imaginary parts of nd forward scattering amplitudes and three-nucleon force effects

Abstract

In the neutron-deuteron scattering, four total cross sections are shown to form a complete set for the determination of the imaginary parts of the forward amplitudes because of the optical theorem. The amplitudes are decomposed into scalar and tensor ones in the spin space. Contributions of three-nucleon forces (3NF) to these amplitudes are studied, by the Faddeev calculation, which predicts significant tensor effects of the 3NF.
