Relativistic NN scattering calculations with. delta. degrees of freedom

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The Bethe-Salpeter equation for NN-N..delta.. scattering is extended to include ..delta delta.. states also. With the exception of /sup 1/S/sub 0/, the effects are small for T = 1 because of dominance by N..delta.. isobaric states. For T = 0 the influence is accordingly larger. Also a quasipotential approximation to the Bethe-Salpeter equation is considered. Substantial differences are found. In particular, the quasipotential results are considerably more sensitive to the coupling parameters of the transition interaction. As a result a better fit to existing experimental phase shift parameters is obtained with the Bethe-Salpeter equation.
