In particular, we consider neutron-deuteron scattering and the triton. Precise predictions for S=3/2 scattering are obtained in a straightforward way. In the S=1/2 channel, however, a unique nonperturbative renormalization takes place which requires the introduction of a three-body force at leading order. We also show that invariance under the renormalization group explains some universal features of the three-nucleon system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-05-18T17:58:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "neutron-deuteron scattering", "effective theory", "three-nucleon system", "effective field theory approach", "renormalization group explains" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 500134, "adsabs": "1999nucl.th...5036H" } } }
