Abstract
Using Faddeev’s form of time‐dependent scattering theory, we give an abstract definition of time delay valid for multichannel scattering. For the three‐body scattering problem we find an explicit relation, that is valid on the energy shell, between the time‐delay operator and the S operators and their energy derivatives.Keywords
