We discuss the meaning of the P-matrix analysis in the constituent-quark bag model. We consider the most general version of the model, which corresponds to an arbitrary coupling between the hadronic and quark channels and to an arbitrary value for the smearing of the surface-interaction region. We investigate the dependence of the poles of the P matrix as a function of the radius r/sub 0/ at which the boundary conditions are determined, for r/sub 0/Xb, where b is the radius of the equivalent hadronic bag. We show that in addition to the pole which corresponds to the primitive, the P matrix has in general also potential poles which correspond to the volume interaction inside the bag. We give criteria for distinguishing the two types of poles. We note that the compensation effect of Jaffe and Low is absent in our model. We illustrate our results qualitatively in the examples of a P-matrix analysis of the ..pi..N system with I = J = 3/2 and of NN scattering with J/sup P/ = 0/sup +/ and 1/sup +/. We give the parameters of the singlet and triplet NN potentials, obtained from the P-matrix description of the experimental data.
