Abstract

The depth V and width b of the square-well potential representing the neutron-proton interaction are determined by analytical and numerical methods from measured values of the deuteron binding energy Bd and the root-mean square radius of the neutron electric charge density, Rd. New graphical methods are described to find V for a given b, using the value Bd, and to calculate the variation of the energy E* of the (unbound) first excited state as a function of the V and B values set by Bd. Common misunderstandings in the interpretation of the radial wavefunctions are discussed.
