Abstract

Some recollectionsOne day in the mid-90s after my lecture delivered for experimentalists from the High Energy Physics Dept. of our Center and devoted to the role of meson exchange currents in electromagnetic interactions with nuclei we were discussing a surprising property of atomic nuclei. Namely, when considering any nucleus as a system of interacting meson and nucleon fields we often forget the spring of nuclear forces and prefer to a handle a set of particles that preserve their property to be physical nucleons with specific interactions (rather phenomenological) between them, i.e., coming to the well known contemporary picture.
