Nucleon-nucleon wave function with short-range nodes and high-energy deuteron photodisintegration

Abstract

We review a concept of the Moscow potential of the $\mathit{NN}$ interaction. On the basis of this concept, we derive by quantum inversion optical partial potentials from the modern partial-wave analysis data and deuteron properties. Point-form relativistic quantum mechanics is applied to the two-body deuteron photodisintegration. Calculations of the cross-section angular distributions cover photon energies between 1.1 and 2.5 GeV. Good agreement between our theory and recent experimental data confirms the concept of deep attractive Moscow potential with forbidden $S$ and $P$ states.
