Relativistic Scalar Aharonov-Bohm Scattering

چکیده
We discuss the scattering of relativistic spin zero particles by an infinitely long and arbitrarily thin solenoid. The exact solution of the first-quantized problem can be obtained as a mimic of the nonrelativistic case, either in the original Aharonov-Bohm way or by using the Berry’s magnetization scheme. The perturbative treatment is developed in the Feshbach-Villars two-component formalism for the Klein-Gordon equation and it is shown that it also requires renormalization as in the Schrödinger counterpart. The results are compared with those of the field theoretical approach which corresponds to the two-body sector of the scalar Chern-Simons theory.

Relativistic Corrections to the Aharonov-Bohm Scattering
We determine the |p|/m expansion of the two body scattering amplitude of the quantum theory of a Chern-Simons field minimally coupled to a scalar field with quartic self-interaction. It is shown that the existence of a critical value of the self-interaction parameter for which the 2-particle amplitude reduces to the Aharonov-Bohm one is restricted to the leading, nonrelativistic, order. The sub...
متن کاملNonrelativistic Limit of the Scalar Chern-Simons Theory and the Aharonov-Bohm Scattering
We study the nonrelativistic limit of the quantum theory of a Chern-Simons field minimally coupled to a scalar field with quartic self-interaction. The renormalization of the relativistic model, in the Coulomb gauge, is discussed. We employ a procedure to calculate scattering amplitudes for low momenta that generates their |p|/m expansion and separates the contributions coming from high and low...
متن کاملNoncommutative Correction to the Aharonov-Bohm Scattering: a Field Theory Approach
Abstract We study a noncommutative nonrelativistic theory in 2+1 dimensions of a scalar field coupled to the Chern-Simons field. In the commutative situation this model has been used to simulate the Aharonov-Bohm effect in the field theory context. We verified that, contrarily to the commutative result, the inclusion of a quartic self-interaction of the scalar field is not necessary to secure t...
متن کاملScalar Aharonov–Bohm Phase in Ramsey Atom Interferometry under Time-Varying Potential
In a Ramsey atom interferometer excited by two electromagnetic fields, if atoms are under a time-varying scalar potential during the interrogation time, the phase of the Ramsey fringes shifts owing to the scalar Aharonov–Bohm effect. The phase shift was precisely examined using a Ramsey atom interferometer with a two-photon Raman transition under the second-order Zeeman potential, and a formula...
متن کاملOn the Aharonov-Bohm Hamiltonian
Using the theory of self-adjoint extensions, we construct all the possible hamiltonians describing the non relativistic Aharonov-Bohm effect. In general the resulting hamiltonians are not rotationally invariant so that the angular momentum is not a constant of motion. Using an explicit formula for the resolvent, we describe the spectrum and compute the generalized eigenfunctions and the scatter...
