NN-bar quasinuclear states and the Bethe-Salpeter equation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
Using the Bethe-Salpeter equation with one-boson exchange the energies of nN-bar bound states and resonances are determined up to the one-pion production threshold. Comparisons are made with calculations using the Blankenbecler-Sugar approximation. It is found that the NN-bar forces are much less attractive in the Bethe-Salpeter approach. In contrast to the one-mass-shell models, the NN-bar spectrum for the high-lying states contains more I = 1 than I = 0 states.
