Title: Dispersion relations for nucleon-nucleon scattering
Abstract: Dispersion relations for nucleon-nucleon scattering are presented. The general case of nonforward scattering is treated, although the majority of the discussion is confined to the limiting cases of forward scattering and the non-relativistic approximation. It is shown that in the relativistic case the dispersion relations for nucleon-nucleon scattering necessarily involve the nucleon-antinucleon amplitude. Some qualitative conclusions are drawn about the differences between the nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-antinucleon interactions. The concept of a potential in quantum field theory is discussed briefly.
