Abstract
A model of the nucleon is described in which a π-meson moves about a nucleon core under the action of a hyper-Maxwell field. On such a model, the short range of the internucleon force appears as a screening effect. Despite its obvious limitations, the model does possess some interesting features which lead to results in agreement with experiment. The advantage to such models is that they may provide insight into problems which are enormously difficult from the usual field theory point of view. In particular, one might hope to obtain some understanding of the state of the π -meson field in the nuclear many-body problem.
