These results for πd → pp and πd elastic scattering are superior to previous VPI analyses of these reactions. In particular, the overall phase in πd → pp has now been determined. Comparisons and predictions are made with previous (separate and unified) analyses of this two-baryon system. Several partial wave amplitudes show resonance-like behavior in these reactions.In Copyrightk-matrixpartial wavenucleonpiondeuteronDissertationhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-2927122539751141/
