Infraparticle Scattering States in Non-relativistic Qed: Ii. Mass Shell Properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the infrared problem in the usual model of QED with non-relativistic matter. We prove spectral and regularity properties characterizing the mass shell of an electron and one-electron infraparticle states of this model. Our results are crucial for the construction of infraparticle scattering states, which are treated in a separate paper.

Infraparticle Scattering States in Non-relativistic Qed: I. the Bloch-nordsieck Paradigm
We construct infraparticle scattering states for Compton scattering in the standard model of non-relativistic QED. In our construction, an infrared cutoff initially introduced to regularize the model is removed completely. We rigorously establish the properties of infraparticle scattering theory predicted in the classic work of Bloch and Nordsieck from the 1930’s, Faddeev and Kulish, and others...
متن کاملOperator-theoretic renormalization group and aspects of the infrared problem in non-relativistic QED
One of the key difficulties in the study of non-relativistic QED is the appearance of infrared singularities in the computation of many fundamentally important quantities, such as scattering amplitudes (if computed naively), which originate from the fact that the photon has no mass. The link between zero photon mass, and the infrared pathologies can be explained as follows. By Planck’s law, the...
متن کاملHow do constituent quarks arise in QCD ? Perturbation theory and the infra - red ∗
We motivate the use of dressed charges by arguing that such objects are needed to describe, e.g., constituent quarks and, in general, physical charged states in gauge theories. We give a short introduction to dressings in both QED and QCD. We put special emphasis on the infra-red properties of a moving dressed charge. To be more precise, we demonstrate that the one loop propagator of a relativi...
متن کاملKinetic Theory of Radiation in Nonequilibrium Relativistic Plasmas
Many-particle QED is applied to kinetic theory of radiative processes in manycomponent plasmas with relativistic electrons and nonrelativistic heavy particles. Within the framework of nonequilibrium Green’s function technique, transport and mass-shell equations for fluctuations of the electromagnetic field are obtained. We show that the transverse field correlation functions can be decomposed i...
متن کاملLight Fermion Finite Mass Effects in Non-relativistic Bound States
We present analytic expressions for the vacuum polarization effects due to a light fermion with finite mass in the binding energy and in the wave function at the origin of QED and (weak coupling) QCD non-relativistic bound states. Applications to exotic atoms, Υ(1s) and tt̄ production near threshold are briefly discussed. Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprint 7 February 2008
