Compound states manifest themselves as bound states, resonances, or primitives, and their character is determined by their interaction with the continuum. If the interaction experiences a perturbation, a compound state can change its manifestation. Phase analysis of nucleon-nucleon scattering indicates the existence of primitives in the {sup 3}S{sub 1}, {sup 1}S{sub 0}, and {sup 3}P{sub 0} channels. Electromagnetic interaction can shift primitives from the unitary cut, turning them into narrow resonances. We evaluate this effect on the {sup 1}S{sub 0} proton-proton scattering channel in the framework of the Simonov-Dyson model. We show that electromagnetic interaction turns a primitve with a mass of 2 000 MeV into a dibaryon resonance of approximately the same mass and a width of 260 keV. Narrow resonances of a similar nature may occur in other nucleon-nucleon channels. Experimental confirmation of the existence of narrow resonances would have important implications for the theory of nucleon-nucleon interaction.
