Abstract

We compute relativistic corrections to the triton binding energy (BT) using an effective s-wave potential which yields, in the nonrelativistic case, BT=7.6±0.2 MeV. In the framework of Vinogradov's formulation of the three-body problem in Lobachevsky space, we find BT=8.3±0.15 MeV. We use two-body t matrices that give the same two-body phase shifts and binding as the nonrelativistic t matrices. Our results for relativistic corrections are substantially larger than those previously reported.
