Three-body forces and Wikipedia A three-body force is a force that does not exist in a system of two objects but appears in a system of three objects (three-body system like in Euler's three-body problem) or more. In physics, an intuitive example of a three-body force is the case of charged, metallic spheres: the charge distribution at the surface of two spheres placed close to each other will be modified, and thus the total force felt by a third sphere cannot be described by the sum of the forces from the two other spheres taken individually. The fundamental strong interaction seems to exhibits such behaviours. In particle physics, the interactions between the three quarks that compose baryons can be described in a diquark model which is equivalent to the hypothesis of a three-body force. There is growing evidence in the field of nuclear physics that three-body forces exist among the nucleons inside atomic nuclei (three-nucleon force). As an analogy, if we identify bodies with human beings and forces with emotions, jealousy is a good example of three-body force: it is not felt as long as only two persons are acting, but it can show up as soon as a third person enters into the scene.

First experiments for the break-up very successful. • Results available for observables from 50 to 190 Mev/A. Breakup Summary • Three-body hadronic reactions are the most promosing tool for the study of 3BF effects. • A systematic study of cross sections and analyzing powers as a function of energy provides a good data-base for these studies. • Aside from cross sections, many spin observables have also been studied at various energies. Elastic Scattering
Outlook • The search for 3BF effects at intermediate energies is coming to an end. • At KVI, our comprehensive program to study the three-body systems will come to an end in 2009. • The situation for the three-body systems is like the situation of NN of some 20 years ago! PWA is desperately called for. • The 4-body system is coming up. • The theoretical progress in 4-body systems is very promising. The first ab-initio calculations are available below 3B breakup and demonstrate the high sensitivity to “physics” beyond what is known.
