Abstract:
By calculating the contribution of the three-body force to the three-nucleon binding energy in terms of the amplitude using perturbation theory, we are able to determine the importance of the energy dependence and the contribution of the different partial waves of the amplitude to the three-nucleon force. A separable representation of the non-pole amplitude allows us to write the three-nucleon force in terms of the amplitude for , propagation of the system, and the amplitude for , with being the quasi-particle amplitude in a given state. The division of the amplitude into a pole and non-pole gives a procedure for the determination of the form factor within the model. The total contribution of the three-body force to the binding energy of the triton for the separable approximation to the Paris nucleon-nucleon potential (PEST) is found to be very small mainly as a result of the energy dependence of the amplitude, the cancellation between the - and -wave amplitudes, and the soft form factor.Note:
