Reworking the Tucson-Melbourne Three-Nucleon Potential

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We introduce new values of the strength constants (i.e., aa, bb, cc, and dd coefficients) of the Tucson-Melbourne (TM) 2π\pi exchange three nucleon potential. The new values come from contemporary dispersion relation analyses of meson factory π\piN scattering data. We make variational Monte Carlo calculations of the triton with the original and updated three-body forces to study the effects of this update. We remove a short-range -- π\pi-range part of the potential due to the cc coefficient and discuss the effect on the triton binding energy.
