  The real and imaginary part of the quartet S wave phase shift in nd
scattering (^4 S_{3/2}) for centre-of-mass momenta of up to 300 MeV (E_cm
\approx 70 MeV) is presented in effective field theory, using both perturbative
pions and a theory in which pions are integrated out. As available, the
calculation agrees with both experimental data and potential model
calculations, but extends to a higher, so far untested momentum r\'egime above
the deuteron breakup point. A Lagrangean more feasible for numerical
computations is derived.
