Six-quark states in two- and three-nucleon systems

Description

The role of six-quark compound states in the three-nucleon bound state is investigated. The coupling of nucleons to these states provides a new mechanism for the short-range nucleon-nucleon interaction. An explicit derivation of the equations of motion in the three-nucleon system is provided. Various aspects of the interaction are investigated in detail. The energy dependence of the interaction turns out to be weak. The predicted binding energy of the three-nucleon bound state is in the same range as obtained with conventional nucleon-nucleon potentials. Details of the binding mechanism reflect the off-shell behaviour of the interaction. The effects of the short-range interaction on the proton momentum are studied.
