Inversion Potentials for Meson-Nucleon and Meson-Meson Interactions

Abstract

Two-body interactions of elementary particles are useful in particle and nuclear physics to describe qualitatively and quantitatively few- and many-body systems. We are extending for this purpose the quantum inversion approach for systems consisting of nucleons and mesons. From the wide range of experimentally studied two-body systems we concentrate here on $\pi N$, $\pi\pi$, $K^+N$, $K \pi$ and $K\bar{K}$. As input we require results of phase shift analyses. Quantum inversion Gelfand-Levitan and Marchenko single and coupled channel algorithms are used for Schr\"odinger type wave equations in partial wave decomposition. The motivation of this study comes from our two approaches: to generate and investigate potentials directly from data by means of inversion and alternatively use linear and nonlinear boson exchange models. The interesting results of inversion are coordinate space informations about radial ranges, strengths, long distance behaviors, resonance characteristics, threshold effects, scattering lengths and bound state properties.
