A low momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential $V_{low-k}$ is derived from meson exhange potentials by integrating out the model dependent high momentum modes of $V_{NN}$. The smooth and approximately unique $V_{low-k}$ is used as input for…
One of the important features of nuclear forces is their strong repulsive nature at short ($\le 0.5-0.6$~Fm) distances which prevents atomic nuclei from collapsing, thus guarantying the stability for the visible matter. However the…
