Abstract: (Elsevier)
Using a relativistic three-body theory we calculated elastic differential cross sections, polarisations and total cross sections for pion-deuteron scattering in the (3, 3) resonance region. Effects of pion absorption and emission have been calculated rigorously, including pion rescattering effects and ρ-meson exchange to all orders. Inclusion of pion absorption and emission produces appreciable changes in the large angle differential cross section and in all polarisation parameters. The inclusion of non-resonant π N partial waves leads to significantly improved agreement with experiment for T π = 142 MeV and at forward angles for 256 MeV. None of these effects, nor the inclusion of selected NN partial waves other than 3 S 1 - 3 D 1 , produces the deep minimum observed at 256 MeV.
