Inversion potential analysis of the nuclear dynamics in the triton.

Abstract

We report $^{3}\mathrm{H}$ binding energy calculations using inversion potentials generated from phase shifts corresponding to contemporary nucleon-nucleon potentials as well as modern phase shift analyses. We place limits upon the calculated triton binding energy based on a local potential due to the underlying uncertainties in the potential model generated directly from the nucleon-nucleon phase shifts. We explore the role of the nonlocality of momentum-dependent potentials in the triton binding energy. In particular, we find the additional binding energy in the case of the Bonn-B potential is due to a long range nonlocality.
