Abstract
The energy values of Tomonaga's intermediate coupling equation for a physical nucleon are obtained from the asymptotic solutions of the equation when the number of mesons is very large. The energy values can be determined immediately from the requirement that the asymptotic solutions should contain only positive integer powers of meson emission operators. The possibility that the asymptotic solution for the ground state will give a good description of the situation at small distances from the core of nucleons is discussed. The result is consistent with the view that the production of meson showers by high energy nucleon collisions is due to the shaking off of meson clouds during collisions. No inconsistency with the low energy experiments is introduced by this picture of shower production.
