Intermediate rho mesons in pi-nuclear scattering

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

The role of rho meson exchange between nucleons is examined by solving the Low equations which couple the pi-nuclear channels to the rho-nuclear channels. The result is in the form of a linear coupled-channel equation of the Lippmann-Schwinger type but including a propagator modification which strongly damps the effects of virtual rho mesons. In particular, the contribution of rho exchange to the Lorentz-Lorenz effect is found to be negligible.
