Abstract:
The contribution of a ππ\pi \pi-exchange three-body force to the three-nucleon binding energy is calculated in terms of a πN\pi N amplitude. The latter is based on a meson-theoretical model of πN\pi N interaction developed by the J\"ulich group. Similar to a previous study based on simple phenomenological πN\pi N potentials a very small effect of the resulting three-body force is found. Possible origins of the two-orders-of-magnitude descrepancy between the present result and the values obtained for the Tucson-Melbourne three-body force are investigated. Evidence is provided that this discrepancy is most likely due to strikingly different off-shell properties of the πN\pi N amplitudes underlying the two approaches.
