Nucleon-nucleon potentials and two-body Hamiltonians. [Bethe-Salpeter equation, two-nucleon mass operator]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5788195
The physical significance of nucleon-nucleon potentials depends on their relation to the two-nucleon mass operator. These relations are examined for phenomenological potentials. Momentum space Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes with one particle on the mass shell approximate half-off-shell T matrices defined in the framework of the Haag-Ruelle theory. This implies a relation between potentials derived from a Bethe-Salpeter equation and effective two-body mass operators. 16 references.
