Abstract

A coupled-channel formulation of nucleon-deuteron scattering with Δ-isobar excitation is used. Δ-isobar excitation in the nuclear medium yields an effective three-nucleon force. The effect of Δ-isobar excitation on the spin- averaged differential cross section is studied. The discrepancy between theory and experiment in the diffraction minimum is reduced.
