Unitary model for the coupled. pi. NN-NN problem

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)

This paper derives a unitary model for the coupled ..pi..NN-NN problem. Starting from the integral equations obtained by Avishai and Mizutani we introduce an extension of Karlsson's procedure to restate the scattering problem in terms of on-shell transition amplitudes. We obtain a soluble system of Heitler-type integral equations, which unitarize the scattering problem. The model enables the construction of the approximate on-shell transition amplitudes which satisfy both two- and three-particle unitarity constraints.
