Higher partial waves in an effective field theory approach to nd scattering Original Research Article

The phase shifts for the higher partial waves ( l≥1 ) in the spin quartet and doublet channel of nd scattering at centre-of-mass energies up to 15 MeV are presented at next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order in an effective field theory in which pions are integrated out. As available, the results agree with both phase shift analyses and potential model calculations.
