Benchmark calculations for polarization observables in 3N scattering

Abstract

High precision benchmark calculations for phase-shifts and mixing parameters as well as observables in elastic neutron-deuteron scattering below the deuteron breakup threshold are presented using a realistic nucleon-nucleon potential. Two totally different methods, one using a variational principle in configuration space and the other solving the Faddeev equations in momentum space are used and compared to each other. The agreement achieved in phase-shifts and mixing parameters as well as in the polarization observables is excellent. The extreme sensitivity of the vector analyzing power Ay to small changes of the phase shifts and mixing parameters is pointed out.
