This is the final report of a one-year, Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). This work completes the determination of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering amplitudes from 485 to 800 MeV. The data set is completed by the publication of two papers. These new data have a precision better than

Quark Models of the Nucleon–Nucleon Interaction
The present paper aims to provide a review of the relevance of quark degrees of freedom in the description of the nucleon-nucleon and, in general, of the baryon-baryon interaction.

An optimized chiral nucleon-nucleon interaction at next-to-next-to-leading order [PDF]
We optimize the nucleon-nucleon interaction from chiral effective field theory at next-to-next- to-leading order. The resulting new chiral force NNLOopt yields \chi^2 \approx 1 per degree of freedom for laboratory energies below approximately 125 MeV. In

New Laser Fusion and Its Gain by Intense Laser
The feasibility of a new approach of laser fusion in plasma without implosion has been proposed and is discussed using an intense laser. The cross section of the nuclear reaction is increased by enhancing the penetrability of nuclei through the Coulomb ...

The nucleon-nucleon interaction [PDF]
Recent developements in our understanding of the fundamental nucleon-nucleon interaction are reviewed. Among the topics considered are (1) the so-called high-precision nucleon-nucleon potentials that emerged in the mid 1990s, (2) progress in the microscopic description of the intermediate-range part of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in terms of ...

Field transformations and simple models illustrating the impossibility of measuring off-shell effects [PDF]
In the context of simple models illustrating field transformations in Lagrangian field theories we discuss the impossibility of measuring off-shell effects in nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung, Compton scattering, and related processes.

Sensitivity of nucleon-nucleus scattering to the off-shell behavior of on-shell equivalent NN potentials [PDF]
The sensitivity of nucleon-nucleus elastic scattering to the off-shell behavior of realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions is investigated when on-shell equivalent nucleon-nucleon potentials are used. The study is based on applications of the full-folding

The potential of the modified Thomas - Fermi method and its analytical representation on the example of the interaction of 16O with tin isotopes 112,114,116,118,120,122,124Sn [PDF]
Nucleon distribution densities and nucleus-nucleus interaction potentials for the 16O nucleus and 112,114,116,118,120,122,124Sn isotopes were calculated within the framework of the modified Thomas - Fermi method, taking into account all terms to the ...

Role of the total isospin 3/2 component in three-nucleon reactions [PDF]
We discuss the role of the three-nucleon isospin T=3/2 amplitude in elastic neutron-deuteron scattering and in the deuteron breakup reaction. The contribution of this amplitude originates from charge-independence breaking of the nucleon-nucleon potential

Realistic Model of the Nucleon Spectral Function in Few- and Many- Nucleon Systems [PDF]
By analysing the high momentum features of the nucleon momentum distribution in light and complex nuclei, it is argued that the basic two-nucleon configurations generating the structure of the nucleon Spectral Function at high values of the nucleon ...
