Abstract
The three‐nucleon system is the simplest, non‐trivial testing ground which allows one to probe quantitatively modern nucleon‐nucleon interaction models. The rigorous technique of solving the Faddeev equations for the three‐nucleon system allows one to test the influence of additional dynamical ingredients, referred to as three‐nucleon forces, as well as the Coulomb interaction and relativistic effects. A large set of high precision, exclusive cross‐section data for the 1H(d,pp)n breakup reaction at 130 MeV was obtained at KVI, Groningen. This allowed us to establish for the first time clear evidence for three‐nucleon force contributions to the cross sections of the breakup process and to confirm recent predictions of a sizable influence of the Coulomb force in this reaction.
