Abstract

The nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction has been an object of active study for over fifty years. In the past decade high precision potentials based on one boson exchange (OBE) were developed: Argonne 18, Nijmegen '93, CD Bonn, etc. Unfortunately they are highly parametrized (≈ 40 parameters) and less theoretically sound than their predecessors: Bonn B, Nijmegen '78, Paris, etc. Historically OBE potentials parametrize the coupling constants/form factors of an effective Lagrangian. We have calculated these form factors using quark model simple harmonic oscillator wave functions and the 3P0 model of hadronic decays. We present preliminary results for phase shifts of a toy nuclear interaction model, pion (π) and scalar/iso- scalar (σ) exchange. Prospects for future work, including self-consistently extending this work to non-zero strangeness hadrons, are discussed.
