Nucleon-nucleon interaction models and non-locality
The effect of non-locality in the NN interaction models is examined. It is shown that this feature can explain differences in predictions made from models evidencing a difference with this respect. This is done for both static and dynamical observables, taking into account that a non-local term can be transformed away by performing a unitary transformation. Some results for the deuteron form factors, the A(Q 2) structure function and the T 20(Q 2) tensor polarization, are given as an example. A few cases where discrepancies cannot be explained are also considered. They point to differences in the models as for the deuteron asymptotic normalizations, A s and A D , which are not affected by the present analysis.
