Nucleon--Deuteron Capture with Chiral Potentials

R. Skibinski, J. Golak, H. Witala, W. Gloeckle, A. Nogga, E. Epelbaum

Present day chiral nucleon--nucleon potentials up to next-to-next-to-next-to leading order and three nucleon forces at next-to-next-to leading order are used to analyze nucleon--deuteron radiative capture at deuteron laboratory energies below Ed\approx 100 MeV. The differential cross section and the deuteron analyzing powers Ay(d) and Ayy are presented and compared to data. The theoretical predictions are obtained in the momentum-space Faddeev approach using the nuclear electromagnetic current operator with exchange currents introduced via the Siegert theorem. The chiral forces provide the same quality of data description as a combination of the two-nucleon AV18 and the three-nucleon Urbana IX interactions. However, the different parametrizations of the chiral potentials lead to broad bands of predictions.
