ARE ALL MODELS OF THE NN INTERACTION INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER

Models of the NN interaction are most often considered as independent of each other, and it is generally believed that experiments could all ow one to discriminate them. It has, however, been shown that there ma y be some relationship between models designed to be used in momentum and configuration spaces. This relationship is expressed by a unitary transformation. Its consequences for the charge and quadrupole deutero n form factors were investigated in the case of the pi-exchange contri bution to the NN interaction. For this interaction, the Bonn (Q(b)) an d Paris models were considered as representative models of momentum an d configuration spaces respectively. The above work is extended to the rho-exchange contribution on the one hand and to the deuteron magneti c form factor and the form factor for deuteron electrodisintegration n ear threshold on the other hand. Sensitivity to various inputs is disc ussed.
