We use the configuration-space Faddeev formalism to study scattering of three particles in the double continuum where all particles are free. All scattering processes, starting from and ending in both single and double continua, are collected in a unique matrix. We apply our method to the benchmark system of neutron-deuteron scattering.

Nous utilisons le formalisme de Faddeev dans l’espace des positions pour étudier la diffusion de trois particules dans le double continuum où toutes les particules sont libres. Tous les processus de diffusion, partant et finissant dans un simple ou double continuum, sont collectés dans une unique matrice de diffusion. Nous appliquons notre méthode au système modèle consistant en la diffusion d’un neutron sur un deutéron.
