We report on our progress in the inclusion of the subleading 3N contact operators for the elastic p − d scattering below the deuteron break-up. We find that, with a nuclear interaction consisting of the AV18 2N potential, supplemented by the leading and subleading 3N contact operators, existing discrepancies between theory and experiment, like the well-known Ay puzzle, are substantially reduced.
