Description

Using the Bonn B nucleon-nucleon potential and the Tucson-Melbourne family of π-π, π-ρ, and ρ-ρ three-nucleon forces we solved the 3N Faddeev equation below and above the deuteron breakup threshold. For different elastic scattering and breakup observables we looked for the effects caused by adding consecutively the above 3N forces. The largest effects were found for the π-π three-nucleon force. The influence of π-ρ exchange was generally found to be smaller than π-π and it acts in opposite direction. The effect of the ρ-ρ three-nucleon force was found to be always negligible. Adding π-ρ and ρ-ρ three-nucleon forces does not explain the analyzing power puzzle in the low energy nucleon-deuteron elastic scattering
