Abstract
The Kohn variational principle and the (correlated) Hyperspherical Harmonics technique are applied to study the n-3H and p-3He scattering at zero energy. Predictions for the singlet and triplet scattering lengths are obtained for non-relativistic nuclear Hamiltonians including two- and three-body potentials. The calculated n-3H total cross section agrees well with the measured value, while some small discrepancy is found for the coherent scattering length. For the p-3He channel, the calculated scattering lengths are in reasonable agreement with the values extrapolated from the measurements made above 1 MeV.
