Search for Three-Nucleon Force Effects in Two-Body Photodisintegration of 3He(3H) and in the Time Reversed Proton-Deuteron Radiative Capture Process

Abstract

Faddeev calculations have been performed for nucleon-deuteron photodisintegration of 3He(3H) and proton-deuteron radiative capture. The bulk of the results is based on the AV18 nucleon-nucleon force and the Urbana IX three-nucleon force together with explicit exchange currents or applying the Siegert approach. Three-nucleon force effects are predicted for both processes and supported by most of the data.
