The Nucleus Resolved, Ch The deuteron and what two nucleons do to each other

Problem

m_{\pi^0}c^2 = 135.0\,\mathrm{MeV}

. Treating one-pion exchange as the source of the longest-range part of the nucleon-nucleon force, estimate the Yukawa range

\lambda_{\rm Y} = \hbar/m_{\pi^0}c

using

\hbar c = 197.327\,\mathrm{MeV\,fm}
