A microscopic theory of nuclei based on a free scattering NN-potential is meaningful only if this potential fits on-shell scattering data.This is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the theory to be successful.It has been demonstrated repeatedly in the past that 2-body off-shell adjustments or many-body forces are necessary.It has been shown however, using Eff. Field Theory and formal scattering theory, that off-shell and many-body effects can not be separated.This equivalence theorem allows us to concentrate on the off-shell effects.Examples of on-shell equivalent potentials Paris, Bonn etc but here separable potentials are calculated by inverse scattering from NN-scattering and Deuteron data, Earlier calculations showed these S-state potentials to agree with Bonn-B results in Brueckner nuclear matter calculations. They are here also used to compute the Triton binding energy and the n-D scattering length.The results are found to lie on the Phillips line defined in early calculations but like these miss the experimental point on this line and overbind the Triton but is reached by modifying the off-shell properties adding a short-range repulsion without affecting fits to the experimental low-energy phase-shifts.The off-shell induced correlations result in a repulsive component in the Triton effective interactions.In nuclear matter the same effect is referred to as the dispersion correction, which is a main contributor to nuclear saturation.In finite nucleus Brueckner-HF calculations these same correlations give an important contribution to the selfconsistent (reaarangement term), without which the finite nucleus would collapse.The main purpose of the present work is to illustrate that NN-correlations are as important in the Triton as they are in nuclear matter or other finite nuclei.
