Dibaryon resonances and short-range $NN$ interaction

The dibaryon concept for the nuclear force is considered, assuming that the main attraction between the nucleons at medium distances is determined by the $s$-channel exchange of an intermediate six-quark (dibaryon) state. To construct the respective $NN$ interaction model, a microscopic six-quark description of the $NN$ system is used, in which symmetry aspects play a special role. The interaction within the dibaryon model includes a superposition of $t$-channel long-range one-pion exchange and $s$-channel dibaryon exchange. This interaction model is shown to give a good description of both elastic phase shifts and inelasticities of $NN$ scattering in various partial waves in a broad energy range from zero to 600-800 MeV and even higher. It is shown also that the suggested coupling between the external $NN$ channel and internal $6q$ channel leads to a dressing of the intermediate dibaryon state. Finally, the parameters of the dressed dibaryons corresponding to the best fit of $NN$ scattering data turn out to be very close to the parameters of the observed dibaryon resonances in those $NN$ partial configurations where their existence has been experimentally confirmed.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figures; submitted to Chinese Physics
