Abstract

A separable representation of theS-wave Paris potential and a phase-shift equivalent Yamaguchi-type potential significantly differing in their off-shell behaviours are used to calculate second-order polarization observables of elastic nucleon-deuteron scattering atE D=10 and 20MeV. Off-shell effects are found that stem from differences in the nuclear interaction in the inner regionr≲1.2 fm. Adding approximate Coulomb-distortion contributions to the purely nuclear Faddeev amplitudes proton-deuteron predictions are obtained. Coulomb effects are not found to be negligible. Comparison with experimental data, in particular, the spin-correlation parameterC y,y of the reaction\({}^1\vec H(\vec d,d)^1 H\) forE D=10MeV vector-polarized deuterons and the spin-transfer coefficientsK y′y ,K x′x andK x′z for\({}^2H(\vec p,\vec p)^2 H\) atE p=10MeV, prefer the interaction model that contains an intermediate-range repulsion.
