Abstract: (Elsevier)
A previously proposed exact method for including the Coulomb force in three-body collisions is applied to proton-deuteron scattering. We present phase shifts for angular momenta up to L = 9, from elastic threshold to 50 MeV proton laboratory energy. Separable rank-one potentials are taken for the nuclear interactions. A charge-independent and a charge-symmetric choice, while leading to different neutron-deuteron and proton-deuteron phase parameters, nevertheless yield practically the same Coulomb corrections. We investigate, moreover, the question of P-wave resonances. A critical comparison of our results with those obtained in a coordinate-space formalism is performed. Furthermore, proposals for an approximate inclusion of the Coulomb potential are tested, and found unsatisfactory.
