Definition of nuclear potentials from double dispersion relations in field theory and potential scattering

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

A method to describe the scattering of nucleons through a nuclear potential consistent with the results of field theory is presented. This potential results as a sum of ten potentials, five direct and five of the exchange type, each of them given by a superposition of Yukawa potentials. The weight functions for these superpositions are then shown to be obtainable from field theory through the use of double dispersion relations for the nucleon-nucleon system and of unitarity in potential scattering.

Riassunto

Si presenta un metodo per descrivere lo scattering dei nucleoni tramite un potenziale nucleare che si accorda con i risultati della teoria dei campi. Questo Potenziale risulta somma di dieci potenziali, 5 diretti e 5 di scambio, ciascuno dei quali è dato da una sovrapposizione di potenziali di Yukawa. Si mostra poi che le funzioni di peso per queste sovrapposizioni si possono ottenere dalla teoria dei campi con l’uso delle relazioni di doppia dispersione per il sistema nucleone-nucleone e con l’uso dell’unitarietà per lo scattering del Potenziale.
