Ground states of the Wick - Cutkosky model using light - front dynamics Jason

چکیده
We consider the ground state in a model with scalar nucleons and a meson using the formalism of light-front dynamics. Light-front potentials for twonucleon bound states are calculated using two approaches. First, light-front time-ordered perturbation theory is used to calculate oneand two-mesonexchange potentials. These potentials give results that agree well with the ladder and ladder plus crossed box Bethe-Salpeter spectra. Secondly, approximations that incorporate non-perturbative physics are used to calculate alternative one-meson-exchange potentials. These non-perturbative potentials give better agreement with the spectra of the full non-perturbative groundstate calculation than the perturbative potentials. For lightly-bound states, all of the approaches appear to agree with each other. PACS number(s): 21.45.+v, 03.65.Ge, 03.65.Pm, 11.10.Ef Typeset using REVTEX

متن کاملRelativistic bound-state calculations in Light Front Dynamics
There are several ways of calculating the bound states of a system in the context of quantum field theory. We have chosen to calculate the bound states in a quantum field theoretical approach in Light Front Dynamics (LFD), since LFD is very well suited for this problem (see e.g. [1], [2]). Our goal is to move towards QCD, but before treating a realistic system we have done calculations in the s...
متن کاملMany-body Fock sectors in Wick-Cutkosky model
In the model where two massive scalar particles interact by the ladder exchanges of massless scalar particles (Wick-Cutkosky model), we study in light-front dynamics the contributions of different Fock sectors (with increasing number of exchanged particles) to full normalization integral and electromagnetic form factor. It turns out that two-body sector always dominates. At small coupling const...
متن کاملFine and hyperfine structure in different bound systems
We demonstrate that the generalized Gell-Mann–Low theorem permits for a systematic expansion around the nonrelativistic limit when applied to bound states in the Wick-Cutkosky model, Yukawa theory, and QED (in Coulomb gauge). We apply this expansion to obtain new results for the fine and hyperfine structure of bound states in the cases of the Wick-Cutkosky model and Yukawa theory, and reproduce...
