Abstract

The low energy deuteron parameters are discussed in view of their physical information and their constraints on the description of the deuteron in terms of more exotic subsystems. Important recent progress has recently been achieved on the understanding of the root mean square radius, the quadrupole moment, the DS parameter and the asymptotic S state amplitude. There is a strong model-independent interlinkage of various quantities, which holds independent of the detailed model. Strong evidence is found for quantitative dominance of pionic interactions, particularly for the DS ratio and quadrupole moment.

      We label the wave functions u and w found by solving Eq. (15) with this one-pion exchange potential as uπ(r) and wπ(r). Similar solutions were obtained by Klarsfeld et al., in the early 1980s [52,53], and similar ideas were used to generate a D-wave wave function given an S-wave wave function, u, by Ericson and Rosa–Clot [54–56]. Observe that if VS is set to zero, and Eqs. (15) are solved all the way into the origin, then the wave function violates unitarity (it has norm greater than one) and does not obey Eq. (26).
