Nucleon-nucleon potentials with and without. delta. (1232) degrees of freedom

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
We present two new nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials: a v/sub 14/ model that is a conventional NN potential and a v/sub 28/ model with explicit ..delta..(1232) degrees of freedom. The v/sub 14/ model has 14 operator components describing NN channels, while the v/sub 28/ model has 14 additional operators, including 12 transition operators for all possible ..pi..N..delta.. and ..pi delta delta.. couplings and two central operators for N..delta.. and ..delta delta.. channels; the latter are constrained so that the v/sub 28/ model has no additional free parameters for data fitting. The two models give excellent and almost identical fits to deuteron properties and np scattering below 330 MeV. The v/sub 14/ and v/sub 28/ forms are convenient for nuclear structure calculations; when many-body cluster contributions are evaluated the v/sub 28/ model will automatically include much of the effect attributed to many-body forces in conventional models, while the v/sub 14/ model will provide a standard of comparison.
