Abstract High-accuracy analyzing-powerA y(θ) data forn-d elastic scattering at 12 MeV have been measured using the polarized-neutron facilities at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL). The present data have been combined with our previousn-d measurements at 10, 12, and 14.1 MeV to form the highest-accuracyA y(θ) data set forn-d elastic scattering below 20 MeV. These data are compared to recent Faddeev-based neutron-deuteron (n-d) calculations which use the Paris and Bonn equivalent separable potentials PEST and BEST, as well as Doleschall's representation of theP- andD-wave nucleon-nucleon interactions. None of these models adequately describe the data in the angular region around the maximum ofA y(θ). Possible reasons for the discrepancies are discussed. The sensitivity of the present Faddeev-based calculations to various angular momentum components of the nucleon-nucleon interaction are examined.
