Deuteron Analyzing Powers for $$\varvec{}$$ Elastic Scattering at Intermediate Energies and Three-Nucleon Forces

We have measured a complete set of deuteron analyzing powers in deuteron–proton elastic scattering at 190, 250, and 294 MeV/nucleon. The obtained data are compared with the Faddeev calculations based on the modern nucleon–nucleon forces together with the Tucson-Melbourne’99, and UrbanaIX three nucleon forces. The data are also presented with the calculations based on the N4LO NN potentials of the chiral effective field theory.
