Relativistic NN scattering without partial wave decomposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the covariant Spectator equation with a One Boson Exchange (OBE) kernel, and apply it to the NN system. Relativistic effects such as retardation and negative-energy state components are included in that equation. We develop a method, based on the Padé method, to solve the Spectator equation without partial wave decomposition. The convergence of the partial wave decomposition series is tested as a function of the energy. The on-and off-mass-shell amplitudes are calculated. The NN interaction was fitted to the differential cross section for NN scattering, in the energy range below the pion production threshold.

Relativistic NN scattering equations without partial-wave decomposition
Modern experimental facilities such as TJNAF and Julich are probing the baryonic structure and interactions at intermediate energies (∼ GeV), through electromagnetic and strong reactions involving high momentum transfer [1]. To describe the NN interaction in the intermediate energy range (∼ 300 MeV-1 GeV), particle production mechanisms have to be included. Relativistic effects became also impo...
متن کاملElectromagnetic scattering from relativistic bound states.
The quasipotential formalism for elastic scattering from relativistic bound states is formulated based on the instant constraint in the Breit frame. The quasipotential electromagnetic current is derived from Mandelstam's vepoint kernel and obeys a two-body Ward identity. Breit-frame wave functions are obtained directly by solving integral equations with nonzero total threemomentum, thus accompl...
متن کاملUW - 01 - 17 Light Front Nuclear Theory
High energy scattering experiments involving nuclei are typically analyzed in terms of light front variables. The desire to provide realistic, relativistic wave functions expressed in terms of these variables led me to try to use light front dynamics to compute nuclear wave functions. Here calculations of infinite nuclear matter in the mean field approximation and also in a light front version ...
متن کاملIs the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation useful to nuclear reaction?
We have reconsidered the nonrelativistic distorted-wave t-matrix approximation (NR-DWTA) for proton knockout (p; 2p) reaction using modern high-quality phenomenological optical potentials and NN t-matrix. We have calculated 40Ca(p; 2p) reactions at TLAB = 200MeV and compared the results with the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation (RDWIA) calculations. It is found that the NR-DWTA...
متن کاملThree-Body Scattering Below Breakup Threshold: An Approach without using Partial Waves
The Faddeev equation for three-body scattering below the three-body breakup threshold is directly solved without employing a partial wave decomposition. In the simplest form it is a three-dimensional integral equation in four variables. From its solution the scattering amplitude is obtained as function of vector Jacobi momenta. Based on Malfliet-Tjon type potentials differential and total cross...
