Elementary particle component of the deuteron
Abstract
The low energy nucleon-nucleon system is analyzed by means of a model interaction which includes coupling of the nucleons to an “elementary deuteron” state. The probability of the elementary particle component, or “elementarity”, of the physical deuteron is investigated. It is found that, contrary to earlier assertions, the low energy scattering parameters do not determine the elementarity of the deuteron in a model-independent way.
