Nucleon-nucleon interaction Shell structure in nuclei and lots more to be explained on the basis of how nucleons interact with each other in free space QCD Lattice calculations Effective field theory Exchange of lowest bosonic states Phenomenology Realistic NN interactions: describe NN scattering data up to pion production threshold plus deuteron properties Note: extra energy scale from confinement of nucleons
(Effective) central force N.Ishii, S.Aoki, T.Hatsuda, Phys.Rev.Lett.99,000( 07). The following diagram is contained. This leads to the one pion exchange at the large spatial separation. Repulsive core: 500-600 MeV Attractive pocket: about 30 MeV Ishii talk at 009 Oak Ridge workshop Both of these are smaller than we expect. This is answered by the quark mass dependence.
Quark mass dependence of the central force: S 0 () m π =380MeV: Nconf=034 [8 exceptional configurations have been removed] () m π =59MeV: Nconf=000 (3) m π =73MeV: Nconf=000 Strong quark mass dependence is found. In the light quark mass region, the repulsive core grows rapidly. Ishii talk at 009 Oak Ridge workshop attractive pocket is enhanced mildly. The lattice QCD calculation at light quark mass region is quite important.
Two-body interactions and matrix elements To determine ˆV = αβγδ (αβ V γδ)a αa β a δa γ we need a basis and calculate (αβ V γδ) for given interaction Simplest type: spin-independent & local (also for spinless bosons) with (r r V r 3 r 4 )=(Rr V R r ) = δ(r R ) r V r = δ(r R )δ(r r )V (r) R = (r + r ) r = r r
