Three-Nucleon Force and theAyPuzzle in Intermediate Energyp+dandd+pElastic Scattering

Abstract
New vector analyzing-power data on p+d elastic scattering at Ep=150 and 190MeV have been measured. These are presented together with existing data and with recent d+p vector and tensor analyzing power data at Ed=270MeV. The strong negative extremum of both vector analyzing powers Ayp and Ayd at θc.m.80°120° is underestimated by Faddeev calculations using modern NN forces. Inclusion of the Tucson-Melbourne 3N force shifts the minima upwards, but with conflicting results for Ayp, and leading to a good description for Ayd. An Ayp puzzle, previously thought to exist at energies EN30MeV only, appears to exist also at intermediate energies.
