PROJECTION OF THE 6-QUARK WAVE-FUNCTION ONTO THE NN CHANNEL AND THE PROBLEM OF THE REPULSIVE CORE IN THE NN INTERACTION

A modification of the resonating-group method (RGM) is proposed which includes the multiquark shell-model configurations in the nucleon overlap region. The instanton, gluon, and pi,sigma exchange is taken into account, the interaction constants being consistent with the baryon spectrum. This enables one to cover a wide interval of NN scattering energies up to E(lab) = 2 GeV. The projection of the six-quark wave function onto the NN and other baryon channels is discussed in detail in our approach and in other RGM versions as well, and in this context the problem of repulsive core in the NN forces is discussed.
