A study in the coupled πNN-NN system and the question of dinucleon resonances

Abstract

We have presented soms of our preliminary results on the coupled πNN-NN problem. The overall result obtained so far is rather encouraging and we are currently making the model more sophisticated in order to be able to make more quantitative arguments which may hopefully serve somehow to clarify the dibaryon resonance problems. To end we would like to emphasize that since all the channels (viz.πd → πd, πd ↔ NN, NN → NN, etc.) are unitarily coupled, one cannot arbitrarily change some input parameters to attain a better fit in one of the channels alone: all the channels are closely linked, which serves as a very strong constraint to the input. In near future we wish to extend our model to calculate processes with three-body final states
