Quark-Model Baryon-Baryon Interaction Applied to the Neutron-Deuteron   Scattering (II) Polalization Observables of the Elastic Scattering
  The neutron-deuteron (nd) scattering is solved in the Faddeev formalism, employing the energy-independent version of the quark-model baryon-baryon interaction fss2. The differential cross sections and the spin polarization of the elastic scattering up to the neutron incident energy $E_n=65$ MeV are well reproduced without reinforcing fss2 with the three-body force. The vector analyzing-power of the neutron, $A_y(\theta)$, in the energy region $E_n$ < 25 MeV is largely improved in comparison with the predictions by the meson-exchange potentials, thus yielding a partial solution of the long-standing $A_y$-puzzle owing to the nonlocality of the short-range repulsion produced by the quark-model baryon-baryon interaction. The large Coulomb effect in the vector and tensor analyzing-powers in $E_n$ < 10 MeV is also analyzed based on the Vincent and Phatak method and recent detailed studies by other authors.
