Effective Field Theory for Neutron-Deuteron Scattering: Higher Partial Waves

Abstract

The phase shifts for the higher partial waves in the spin quartet and doublet channel of nd scattering are presented at next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order in an effective field theory in which pions are integrated out. The results agree with both phase shift analyses and potential model calculations.
