Abstract

The ultimate goal of nuclear physics is to understand the properties of nuclei and reactions involving them. Given the smallness of the typical energy scales in nuclear physics, such as the nuclear binding energies (BEs), it appears appropriate to formulate the nuclear N-body problem in terms of the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation. In a first approximation, the two-nucleon potential is sufficient to describe the bulk of the few-nucleon observables at low and intermediate energies. At present, a number of semi-phenomenological two-nucleon models are available which provide an accurate description of the very large nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering data set below the pion production threshold with a χ2 per degree of freedom of the order ≈ 1.
