Recent Progress in Description of NN Scattering with the Dibaryon Model of Nuclear Forces

The recent results in the description of elastic and inelastic nucleon-nucleon scattering within the dibaryon model of nuclear forces are reviewed. This original model taking into account non-nucleonic degrees of freedom is based on the special mechanism including an exchange by an intermediate six-quark state. A good description of the partial phase shifts and inelasticities is found for the main lowest partial NN configurations in a wide energy range from zero up to 0.6–1 GeV. The model gives the resonances in each NN configuration as well, the parameters of which are compared with the data found from recent experiments on single- and double-pion production and partial wave analysis.
