Renormalization and Universality of NN interactions in Chiral Quark and Soliton Models

Abstract

We use renormalization as a tool to extract universal features of the NN interaction in quark and soliton nucleon models, having the same long distance behaviour but different short distance components. While fine tuning conditions in the models make difficult to fit NN data, the introduction of suitable renormalization conditions supresses the short distance sensitivity. Departures from universality are equivalent to extracting information on the model nucleon structure.
