Abstract: (IOP)
We consider a Bargmann-type rational parametrization of the nucleon scattering phase shifts. Applying Marchenko’s method of quantum inverse scattering we show that the scattering data suggest a singular repulsive core of the potential of the form 2/r 2 and 6/r 2 in natural units, for the and channels, respectively. The simplest solution in the channel contains three parameters only but reproduces all features of the potential and bound state wave function within one percent error. We also consider the – coupled channel problem with the coupled channel Marchenko inversion method.
