Abstract
Because the study of three-nucleon systems may provide information pertaining to the interaction between nucleons, much theoretical effort during the past forty years has been devoted to such systems. Provided that a means is found to predict accurately the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions which result from two-body forces, it is possible that the measured properties of three-nucleon systems can provide a significant means of discriminating among various so-called "realistic" potentials—two-body potentials which have been found to fit nucleon-nucleon scattering and deuteron data up to energies as high as 315 MeV,14 or can throw some light on the nature and magnitude of more complicated interactions involving more than two nucleons, which may play some part in nuclear binding.
