چکیده
We review some important topics related to the semirelativistic description of bound states by the spinless Salpeter equation: the special case of the Coulomb interaction, numerical approximation methods, and a way to avoid the problematic square-root operator of the relativistic kinetic energy.

THE SPINLESS SALPETER EQUATION AND MESON DYNAMICS
Applying the variational method, the spinless reduced Bethe-Salpeter (RBS) equation is solved for the mesonic systems, and the mass spectra are obtained. The method is applied to the Hamiltonian with the Gaussian and hydrogen-type trial wave functions, and different potential models are examined. The results for the different potentials are in challenge in light mesons, while they are consisten...
متن کاملIntegral equation formulation of the spinless Salpeter equation
The spinless Salpeter equation presents a rather particular differential operator. In this paper we rewrite this equation into integral and integro-differential equations. This kind of equations are well known and can be more easily handled. We also present some analytical results concerning the spinless Salpeter equation and the action of the square-root operator. 03.65.Pm, 02.30.Rz Typeset us...
متن کاملBound States by the Spinless Salpeter Equation
In quantum theory, bound states are described by eigenvalue equations, which usually cannot be solved exactly. However, some simple general theorems allow to derive rigorous statements about the corresponding solutions, that is, energy levels and wave functions. These theorems are applied to the prototype of all relativistic wave equations, the spinless Salpeter equation. PACS : 11.10.St, 03.65...
متن کاملNUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE SPINLESS SALPETER EQUATION BY A SEMIANALYTICAL MATRIX METHOD (A Mathematica 4.0 Routine)
In quantum theory, the “spinless Salpeter equation,” the relativistic generalization of the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation, is used to describe both bound states of scalar particles and the spin-averaged spectra of bound states of fermions. A numerical procedure solves the spinless Salpeter equation by approximating this eigenvalue equation by a matrix eigenvalue problem with explicitly k...
