Theoretical Foundation of the Nuclear Force in QCD and Its Applications to Central and Tensor Forces in Quenched Lattice QCD Simulations

摘要

We present full accounts of a method to extract nucleon-nucleon (N N) potentials from the Bethe-Salpter amplitude in lattice QCD. The method is applied to two nucleons on the lattice with quenched QCD simulations. By disentangling the mixing between the S-state and the ID-state, we obtain central and tensor potentials in the leading order of the velocity expansion of the. non-local N N potential. The spatial structure and the quark mass dependence of the potentials are analyzed in detail.
