Abstract

We propose a novel approach to incorporate the proton-proton (pp) Coulomb force into the three-nucleon (3N) Faddeev calculations. The main new ingredient is a 3-dimensional screened pp Coulomb t -matrix obtained by a numerical solution of the 3-dimensional Lippmann-Schwinger (LS) equation. We demonstrate numerically and provide analytical insight that the elastic proton-deuteron (pd ) observables can be determined directly from the resulting on-shell 3N amplitude increasing the screening radius. The screening limit exists without the need of renormalisation not only for observables but for the elastic pd amplitude itself.
