Outline • Three-nucleon force • Why dd scattering? • Experimental setup • Analysis of the break-up channel • Results • Summary and outlook
Motivation Prediction of 3NF: H. Primakoff et al., Phys. Rev. 55, 1218 (1939) How big is the 3NF? Effective field theory, based on PT (low-energy expansion in QCD): Perturbative calculations of the interactions between nucleons with pions as exchange particles. 3N forces smaller than 2NF 4N forces even smaller than 3NF!! • Sensitive observables • High-presicion measurements
Motivation p + d p +d Large sensitivity to 3NP effects exists in the minimum of the differential cross section H. Witala et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 1183 (1998) S. Nemoto et al., Phys. Rev. C 58, 2599 (1998)
Influences of 3NF Although the average magnitude of 3NF is much smaller than the one of the 2NF BUT it can be very big for specific parts of the phase space. NN+3NF NN

Summary and Outlook • A few final states of the dd scattering at 65 MeV/nucleon have been identified. • Differential cross sections, vector and tensor-analyzing powers for the elastic d+d channel have been measured. • The three-body break-up in dd scattering has been measured in an almost background-free experiment. • The quasi-free part of the three-body break-up data in dd scattering can be directly compared with the results of the dp elastic scattering. • Surprisingly, the T20 results of the quasi-free dp show discrepancy from the dp elastic scattering. • KVI experiments will provide an extensive database in four-nucleon scattering at intermediate energies. • Theoretical calculations for dd scattering at intermediate energies are urgently called for.
