The theory of the elastic scattering of neutrons or protons by deuterons is formulated. It is assumed that the two-body interaction is a mixture of central and tensor components, and the resonating group method is used to derive coupled integro-differential equations for the wave functions of relative nucleon-deuteron motion. The differential cross-section is expressed in terms of eigenphase shifts and mixing parameters, which may be calculated from the asymptotic form of the solutions of these equations.
