Analysis of resonance production using relativistic Gamow vectors
نویسنده
چکیده
The calculation of an amplitude involving resonance production is presented. This calculation employs for the resonance state a relativistic Gamow vector. It is used for investigating the question of compatibility of the relativistic Gamow vectors kinematics, defined by real 4-velocities and complex mass, with the stable particle kinematics; or in other words, the integration of the Gamow vectors with the conventional Dirac bra-ket formalism. The calculation demonstrates a consistent framework comprising stable and Gamow vectors.

Calculation of the Scattering Amplitude for Resonance Production using Relativistic Gamow Vectors
Relativistic Gamow vectors were originally obtained from the Smatrix pole term for resonance formation experiments. They furnish an irreducible representation of the Poincare semi-group in the forward light cone and are characterized by spin and the complex pole position, very much like stable relativistic particles are labeled by spin and mass, and defined by Wigner’s basis vectors of unitary ...
متن کاملRelativity and Irreversibility
The dynamical laws of physics in their conventional formulation are time reversible. The description of irreversible phenomena was always thought to be incompatible with the dynamical laws. We have recently discussed [1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12] the origin of irreversible behaviour due to resonances in various Poincaré nonintegrable quantum systems. The analytic extension of the Hamiltonian or Liou...

Relativistic resonances and decaying states are described by representations of Poincaré transformations, similar to Wigner’s definition of stable particles. To associate decaying state vectors to resonance poles of the S-matrix, the conventional Hilbert space assumption (or asymptotic completeness) is replaced by a new hypothesis that associates different dense Hardy subspaces to the inand out...

In processes involving Coulomb-type initialand final-state interactions, the Gamow factor has been traditionally used to take into account these additional interactions. The Gamow factor needs to be modified when the magnitude of the effective coupling constant increases or when the velocity increases. For the production of a pair of particles under their mutual Coulomb-type interaction, we obt...
متن کاملTime Asymmetric Quantum Theory III. Decaying States and the Causal Poincaré Semigroup
A relativistic resonance which was defined by a pole of the S-matrix, or by a relativistic Breit-Wigner line shape, is represented by a generalized state vector (ket) which can be obtained by analytic extension of the relativistic Lippmann-Schwinger kets. These Gamow kets span an irreducible representation space for Poincaré transformations which, similar to the Wigner representations for stabl...
