Abstract:
A dynamical model for correlated two-pion and two-kaon exchange in the baryon- baryon interaction is presented, both in the scalar-isoscalar (σ\sigma) and the vector-isovector (ρ\rho) channel. The correlations between the two pseudoscalar mesons are taken into account by means of ππKKˉ\pi\pi - K\bar K amplitudes derived from a meson-exchange model, which is in line with the empirical ππ\pi\pi data. It is found that correlated KKˉK\bar K exchange plays an important role in the σ\sigma-channel for baryon-baryon states with non- vanishing strangeness. The strength of correlated ππ\pi\pi plus KKˉK\bar K exchange in the σ\sigma-channel decreases with the strangeness of the baryon- baryon system becoming more negative. The results for correlated ππ\pi\pi- exchange in the vector-isovector channel deviate from what is expected in the naive SU(3) picture for genuine ρ\rho-exchange. Shortcomings of a simplified description in terms of sharp mass σ\sigma- and ρ\rho-exchange are pointed out.
