Correlations between observables in n-d scattering

Abstract
We have found in the neutron-deuteron scattering a correlation of Kcotδ02 with the doublet scattering length (a2) which is roughly linear for energies above the threshold. We predict the value of Kcotδ02 for the accepted experimental a2 value at the energies of 5.6 and 9.4 MeV. Our calculations reproduce the δ02 p-d experimental data of Arvieux, but are in disagreement with the experimental n-d δ02 data of Van Oers and Seagrave.
