Reconstructing the nucleon-nucleon potential by a new coupled-channel inversion method

A second-order supersymmetric transformation is presented, for the two-channel Schrödinger equation with equal thresholds. It adds a Breit-Wigner term to the mixing parameter, without modifying the eigenphase shifts, and modifies the potential matrix analytically. The iteration of a few such transformations allows a precise fit of realistic mixing parameters in terms of a Padé expansion of both the scattering matrix and the effective-range function. The method is applied to build an exactly solvable potential for the neutron-proton (3)S1-(3)D1 case.
