Abstract
A fully symmetrized multiple-scattering series is considered for the formulation of nucleon-deuteron elastic scattering. An off-shell continuation of the experimentally known two-body amplitudes that retains the exchange symmetries required for the calculation is presented. The one-boson exchange terms are evaluated exactly in this off-shell prescription. The first two terms of the multiple-scattering series are calculated explicitly whereas multiple-scattering effects are obtained as minimum variance estimates from the 146 MeV data of Postma and Wilson. The multiple-scattering corrections indeed consist of low-order partial waves as suggested by Sloan based on model studies with separable interactions. The Hamada-Johnston wave function is shown consistent with the data for internucleon distances greater than about 0.84 fm.
