Quark model study of the triton bound stat

Abstract

The three-nucleon bound state problem is studied employing nucleon-nucleon potentials derived from a basic quark-quark interaction. We analyze the effects of the nonlocalities generated by the quark model. The calculated triton binding energies indicate that quark-model nonlocalities can yield additional binding in the order of few hundred keV.
