The exchange force between three heavy particles due to the meson exchange field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
The exchange forces between two heavy particles (neutrons, protons) have been treated on the basis of the meson theory by Yukawa, Sakata and Taketani (5), and by Fröhilch, Heitler and Kemmer (2), assuming the existence of positive and negative mesons only. The calculations have been extended by Kemmer (3) for a meson field which includes in addition neutral particles (neutretto's). The first order approximation of the exchange potential, i.e. the potential due to the emission and subsequent absorption of one meson only, gives qualitatively the correct interaction between the unclear particles.
