abstract
The nucleon-nucleon potential is analysed using the 1/N_c expansion of QCD. The NN potential is shown to have an expansion in 1/N_c^2, and the strengths of the leading order central, spin-orbit, tensor, and quadratic spin-orbit forces (including isospin dependence) are determined. Comparison with a successful phenomenological potential (Nijmegen) shows that the large-N_c analysis explains many of the qualitative features observed in the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The 1/N_c expansion implies an effective Wigner supermultiplet symmetry for light nuclei. Results for baryons containing strange quarks are presented in an appendix.

An RG-improved EFT matches large-Nc pionless contacts to σ,ρ,ω meson-exchange saturation at scale m_V, normalizes the coupling to the deuteron, and substitutes CD-Bonn couplings to obtain B_ΔΔ ≃ 96 MeV, within 14% of the experimental 84 MeV.
