Search for three-body force effects in neutron–deuteron scattering at 95 MeV

Abstract

The neutron–deuteron (nd) elastic scattering differential cross section has been measured at 95 MeV incident neutron energy. The neutron–proton (np) differential cross section has also been measured for normalization purposes. An inclusion of three-nucleon forces gives a considerable improvement in the theoretical description of the nd data in the angular region of the cross-section minimum.
