Calculation of the Coupling Constant for Deuteron Exchange in $p - {}^{3}{He}$ Scattering

A simple extrapolation technique is used to determine the normalization

C

of the proton-deuteron tail of the

{}^{3}{He}

wave function. With a wave function calculated using the Faddeev equations and the Reid soft-core potential we find

{| C |}^{2} \approx 2.8

, in fair agreement with the value

{| C |}^{2} \approx 2.2 \pm 0.3

estimated by Bolsterli and Hale in a modified phase-shift analysis of

p - {}^{3}{He}

elastic scattering data.
