Abstract

The configuration-space Faddeev equations for the nucleon-deuteron scattering problem are solved for energies below the three-body breakup threshold. We extract the s-wave scattering lengths from fits to the calculated effective range functions, and the results are in good agreement with our previous zero-energy calculations. For the pd-doublet case we find a pole at negative energies which lies closer to the physical region than that for the nd-doublet case. Our calculated phase shifts fall within the existing experimental error bars, suggesting that accurate experiments for scattering energies below 0.3 MeV are necessary in order to obtain a reliable experimental estimate of the pd-doublet scattering length.
