Meson-Exchange Model for the YN Interaction

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We report on progress in the development of a microscopic model for the hyperon-nucleon interaction within the meson-exchange framework, which incorporates both one-meson as well as correlated two-meson exchange contributions. The main new feature of the model is the exchange of two correlated pions or kaons, both in the scalar-isoscalar and the vector-isovector channels. In the scalar channel it provides the main part of the intermediate-range interaction between two baryons, thereby eliminating the need for the fictitious sigma meson, which has been an unavoidable element of effective one-boson-exchange descriptions.
