Mesonic folded diagram theory of the nucleon-nucleon potential

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
We propose a general theory for deriving the nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential V from meson exchanges. Our potential preserves the half-on-shell NN T matrix, contains mesonic folded diagrams and is energy independent. Mesonic folded diagrams are estimated to be of negligible effect for the long-range part of V but may be important for its medium- and short-range parts.
