Non-Local Interactions For the Deuteron Using Spherical Bessel Functions

Publication date 28 April 2012

Abstract: Non-local interactions are assumed for the deuteron with form factors

g_{C} (k) = j_{0} (b_{1} k), j_{0} (b_{2} k)

for the central part responsible for the S-state and

g_{T} (k) = j_{1} (b_{1} k), j_{1} (b_{2} k)

for the tensor part responsible for the D-state, where

b_{1}

and

b_{2}

are range parameters for the proton and neutron, respectively. The analytically obtained wavefunctions in coordinate space have different forms in three different regions. The inner most region is between

r = 0

and

r = b_{2} - b_{1}

(assuming

b_{2} > b_{1}

), followed by a region between

r = b_{2} - b_{1}

and

b_{1} + b_{2}

and finally the region

r > b_{1} + b_{2}

. The resulting wavefunctions and their derivatives are found to be continuous at the boundaries. The ensuing calculations are simplified by setting

b_{1} = b_{2} = b

. Good agreement is obtained for the quadrupole moment. Neutron-proton scattering calculations will follow in the next communication.
