Findings

Successfully modeled all scattering processes in the double continuum.

Provided a unified matrix representation for various scattering channels.

Validated the method with neutron-deuteron scattering data.

Abstract

We use the configuration-space Faddeev formalism to study scattering of three particles in the double continuum where all particles are free. All scattering processes, starting from and ending in both single and double continua, are collected in a unique matrix. We apply our method to the benchmark system of neutron-deuteron scattering.
