Phase Shifts and Mixing Parameters for Elastic Proton-Deuteron Scattering

Abstract

The eigenphase shifts and mixing parameters for elastic p-d scattering below the deuteron-breakup threshold are calculated for the AV14 two-body potential using two different numerical methods. The excellent agreement confirms that it is possible to perform accurate numerical studies of p-d scattering as well as n-d scattering for low energies. The numerical results can be considered as benchmarks for future calculations.
