Abstract: The Faddeev equation for three‐body scattering at arbitrary energies is formulated in momentum space and directly solved in terms of momentum vectors without employing a partial wave decomposition. In its simplest form the Faddeev equation for identical bosons is a three‐dimensional integral equation in five variables, magnitudes of relative momenta and angles. The elastic differential cross section, semi‐exclusive d(N,N′) cross sections and total cross sections of both elastic and breakup processes in the intermediate energy range up to about 1 GeV are calculated based on a Malfliet‐Tjon type potential, and the convergence of the multiple scattering series is investigated in every case. In general a truncation in the first or second order in the two‐body t‐matrix is quite insufficient.
