Abstract

It has been explicitly demonstrated that the proton-proton scattering data require that the singlet even parity nucleon-nucleon interaction be nonlocal. This result comes from an examination of the energy dependence of both the S01 and D21 phase shifts. A nonlocal singlet even parity potential of the form V(r, r)=V(r)12V(r)12R3[exp(R1|rr|)](4πR1|rr|) is examined. The potential function V(r) is taken to have the form of a monotonic attraction outside a "hard core." The radius of the "hard core," the depth and range of V(r), and the nonlocal distance R provide four parameters which can be adjusted to fit the experimental values of the singlet scattering length and effective range, and the 310-MeV S01 and D21 phase shifts. For a long-range attractive potential function, such as the Yukawa, the energy dependence of the S01 and D21 phase shifts is strikingly similar to that suggested by the phase-shift analysis of the Yale group. Although the radius of the "hard core" is decreased somewhat from the local value, a "hard core" is still required.
