Conventional nuclear forces as a consequence of the quark-gluonic hadronization into mesons

Abstract

The conventional nuclear forces at low energies are described by NN-potentials that arise within the framework of the classical mesonic theory as a consequence of the interchange of mesons. Under the situation the mentioned NN-potentials depend on the mesonic masses as parameters. From the point of view of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), however, the mesons and nucleons are composed of quark-gluon configurations and are the result of a confinement mechanism, i.e., the quark-gluonic hadronization into mesons (nucleons). Hence the above mesonic masses should be some functions of quark-gluonic degrees of freedom. When using the confinement mechanism proposed earlier by one of the authors in QCD we adduce the sought functions in an explicit form which enables us to conclude that the NN-potentials only correspond to some residual interactions while the latter are the direct result of the quark-gluonic hadronization into mesons when approching two nucleons.
