Abstract
Selected aspects of nucleon-nucleon scattering are critically reviewed. Phase shifts are treated relativistically in a manner similar to the usual non- relativistic one. Relativistic kinematics, nonrelativistic treatments, low- energy p-p scattering, corrections to Coulomb scattering, the form of the N-N scattering matrix, and the effects of nucleon magnetic moments are considered. General views regarding N-N interactions, the one-pion exchange interaction, tests of charge independence, and evidence concerning two-pion exchange are surveyed. Attempts to explain the still somewhat hypothetical spin-orbit potential and repulsive core by means of heavy mesons strongly interacting with nucleons are discussed. (W.D.M.)
