Abstract
Calculations of the triton binding energy with the relativistic spectator or Gross equation are reported. The three-body equations and the basic ideas behind the approach are presented. Numerical results were obtained for a family of realistic one-boson exchange models with off-shell scalar couplings. They represent the first three-nucleon binding energies calculated with the full Dirac structure of the nucleons. It is shown that the off-shell couplings improve both the fits to the two-body data and the predictions for the binding energy. Boost effects and connections to three-nucleon forces are discussed.
