Nucleon-deuteron elastic scattering with the Paris nucleon-nucleon potential

We report on recent advances made in employing realistic nucleon-nucleon forces for nucleon-deuteron elastic scattering. For the first time the Paris potential is used in all relevant partial waves through a separable expansion representing both its on-shell and off-shell properties. Here we present the neutron-deuteron total and differential cross sections below Eₙ₌₂₀ MeV as well as the vector-to-vector spin-transfer coefficients of the reaction ²H(N{→},d{→})¹H at EN=10 MeV. These results may now be regarded as genuine predictions of the Paris potential for these particular observables of nucleon-deuteron scattering.
