Combined analysis of the reactions $pp \to pp$, $πd\to πd$, and $πd\to pp$

Abstract

Results are presented for a combined analysis of the reactions $pp\to pp$, $πd\to πd$ and $πd\to pp$ over the $\sqrt{s}$ interval from pion threshold to approximately 2.4 GeV. These results for $πd\to pp$ and $πd$ elastic scattering are superior to our previous analyses of these reactions. In particular, the overall phase in $πd\to pp$ has now been determined. Comparisons are made with previous (separate and combined) analyses of this two-nucleon system.
