Coulomb force effects in low-energy $\alpha$-deuteron scattering

Abstract

The $\alpha$-proton Coulomb interaction is included in the description of $\alpha$-deuteron scattering using the screening and renormalization approach in the framework of momentum-space three-particle equations. The technical reliability of the method is demonstrated. Large Coulomb-force effects are found.
