LATTICE QCD CALCULATION OF NUCLEAR FORCES
Abstract
Quenched lattice QCD results of nuclear forces are presented. Inter-nucleon potentials are constructed from Bethe-Salpeter wave functions of two nucleon states by using a Schrödinger-type equation. The results of the central force in 1S0 channel posses the repulsive core at short distance as well as the attraction at medium distance, both of which are enhanced in the light quark mass region. A preliminary result on the tensor force is also presented with the central force in 3S1 channel.
