Abstract
A summary of the knowledge of the low-energy interaction of two nucleons with one unit of isobaric spin is presented. The single energy analyses of accurate low-energy proton-proton scattering data are discussed with emphasis upon the electromagnetic effects which have been included and those which should be. The phase shifts which result are presented and discussed in terms of the effective range expansion and potentials. A brief discussion of charge symmetry and independence in terms of potentials and dispersion relations is given. The equality of the neutron-neutron and proton-proton nuclear interactions, which seems to be established, may not be sufficient for understanding the problem of mirror nuclei. The question of charge independence is much more difficult. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.39.584 ©1967 American Physical Society
