Improvements are made on an earlier study of the effect of N N bound states on the NN optical potential and the subsequent changes in the predicted widths of such bound states. These improvements include a more thorough search for the best form of optical potential when N N bound states are present, the effect of two bound states on a particular incident channel and, finally, a relativistic treatment of the pion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
