VARIATIONAL CALCULATIONS ON THE BINDING ENERGY OF THE ALPHA PARTICLE. II. VELOCITY-DEPENDENT POTENTIALS

; ;

The upper bound and the lower bound for the energy of the alpha particle are calculated with a central, velocitydependent, two-body potential that fits the low energy scattering data and yields the experimental p-p /sup 1/S/sub 0/ phase shifts up to about 300 Mev. The results of -29.2 Mev and -63.6 Mev for these two bounds check quite closely with the corresponding results obtained with a hard-core potential. This indicates that in a nucleus in which the average inter-nucleon distance is somewhat longer than the range of the two-body potential, the binding energy is insensitive to the detailed nature of the potential.
