  A dynamical investigation of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction by using
the resonating group method (RGM) in a chiral SU(3) quark model has been
revisited. The considered quark-quark interaction includes, besides the
one-gluon exchange (OGE) and the phenomenological confinement potential, the
nonet scalar and pseudoscalar meson exchanges derived from the spontaneous
SU(3) chiral symmetry breaking. The physical consistency requirement that the
wave functions of single baryons satisfy the minimums of the Hamiltonian has
been strictly imposed in determination of the model parameters. The calculated
masses of the octet and decuplet baryon ground states, the binding energy of
the deuteron, and the NN scattering phase shifts up to a total angular momentum
J=6 are in satisfactory agreement with the experiments.
