Integral equation formulation of the spinless Salpeter equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 using REVTEX ∗Chercheur I.I.S.N. †E-mail: [email protected]

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 کاملBethe – Salpeter equation in QCD
We extend to regular QCD the derivation of a confining qq̄ Bethe–Salpeter equation previously given for the simplest model of scalar QCD in which quarks are treated as spinless particles. We start from the same assumptions on the Wilson loop integral already adopted in the derivation of a semirelativistic heavy quark potential. We show that, by standard approximations, an effective meson squared...
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...
متن کاملSPINLESS SALPETER EQUATION Some (Semi-) Analytical Approaches
The eigenvalue equation of a semirelativistic Hamiltonian composed of the relativistic kinetic term of spin-0 particles and static interactions is called spinless Salpeter equation. It is regarded as relativistic generalization of the nonrelativistic Schrödinger approach, or as approximation to the homogeneous Bethe–Salpeter equation in its instantaneous limit. The nonlocality inherent to this ...
متن کاملAll around the Spinless Salpeter Equation
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.
