Skyrme-Model $\pi NN$ Form Factor and Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction

Abstract

We apply the strong $\pi NN$ form factor, which emerges from the Skyrme model, in the two-nucleon system using a one-boson-exchange (OBE) model for the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction. Deuteron properties and phase parameters of NN scattering are reproduced well. In contrast to the form factor of monopole shape that is traditionally used in OBE models, the Skyrme form factor leaves low momentum transfers essentially unaffected while it suppresses the high-momentum region strongly. It turns out that this behavior is very appropriate for models of the NN interaction and makes possible to use a soft pion form factor in the NN system. As a consequence, the $\pi N$ and the $NN$ systems can be described using the same soft $\pi NN$ form factor, which is impossible with the monopole.
