NN Spin-Orbit Force in Quark Model

A chiral quark-soliton model with the gluon field and chiral fields (σ, π and ω) is employed to study the NN spin-orbit potential within a relativistic twoquark-cluster theory. The effective NN spin-orbit potential generated by the one-gluon exchange decreases with the increase of energy. It is as important as one a-meson exchange and one w-meson exchange and is close to the spin-orbit splitting in nuclei.
