Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering from One-Boson-Exchange Potentials. III.SWaves Included

The nucleon-nucleon interaction is described over the laboratory scattering energy range 0-350 MeV by a potential used in conjunction with the Schr\"odinger equation. In momentum space the potential is a superposition of Born terms obtained from single exchanges of, , , , ₀, and ₁ mesons, where the ₀ and ₁ are hypothetical scalar mesons with isotopic spin 0 and 1, respectively. Rather than taking the usual static limit, all terms of order p^{2}{M^2} are retained. The inclusion of S waves requires the introduction of a cutoff factor. The meson coupling constants, the masses of the ₀ and ₁, and a cutoff parameter are adjusted to fit the experimentally determined phase parameters. A comparison with experimental phase-shift analysis shows a good qualitative fit, on the average.
