Title: Baryon-baryon scattering in a one-boson-exchange-potential approach. III. A nucleon-nucleon and hyperon-nucleon analysis including contributions of a nonet of scalar mesons

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

The NN and YN results are presented from a one-boson-exchange-potential model. It consists of local potentials due to exchanges of members of the pseudoscalar, vector, and scalar-meson nonets. SU(3) relations are assumed for the axial-vector couplings of the pseudoscalar mesons, for the electric and magnetic couplings of the vector mesons, for the direct couplings of the scalar mesons, and for the hard-core radii. In the fit to NN the nonstrange-meson--nucleon couplings are determined. The simultaneous YN analysis determines the F/D ratios and the SU(3) parameters of the scalar-meson nonet. The description of the NN data is good (chi/sup 2//data = 2.17), and also of the ..lambda..p, ..sigma../sup +/p, and ..sigma../sup -/p data up to the pion production threshold. Very close to the ..sigma..N threshold we find a ..lambda..N resonance, which is dominantly in the /sup 3/D/sub 1/ wave. The ..lambda..p cross section is maximal just below the ..sigma../sup +/n threshold at E = 2128.918 MeV, in agreement with the experimental results of ..lambda..p final-state interactions. The poles belonging to the ..lambda..p resonance are located on the second Riemann sheet at E = 2131.77 +- i 2.39 MeV.
