Semirelativistic Treatment of Bound States
نویسندگان
چکیده
This talk reviews several aspects of the “semirelativistic” description of bound states by the spinless Salpeter equation (which represents the simplest equation of motion incorporating relativistic effects) and, in particular, presents or recalls some very simple and elementary methods which allow to derive rigorous statements on the corresponding solutions, that is, on energy levels as well as wave functions.

Electric Polarizability of Mesons in Semirelativistic Quark Models
The electric polarizability of mesons, in particular, that of the charged pion, is studied in the framework of a semirelativistic description of hadrons as bound states of valence quarks in terms of a Hamiltonian composed of the relativistic kinetic energy as well as a phenomenological potential describing the strong interactions between the quarks. The quark-core contribution to the electric p...
متن کاملUpper limit on the number of bound states of the spinless Salpeter equation
We obtain, using the Birman-Schwinger method, upper limits on the total number of bound states and on the number of l-wave bound states of the semirelativistic spinless Salpeter equation. We also obtain a simple condition, in the ultrarelativistic case (m = 0), for the existence of at least one l-wave bound states: C(l, p/(p− 1)) ∫∞ 0 dr r p−1 |V −(r)|p ≥ 1, where C(l, p/(p− 1)) is a known func...
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.
متن کاملSemirelativistic N-boson systems bound by attractive pair potentials
We establish bounds on the energy of a system of N identical bosons bound by attractive pair potentials and obeying the semirelativistic Salpeter equation. The lower bound is provided by a ‘reduction’, with the aid of Jacobi relative coordinates, to a suitably scaled one-body Klein-Gordon problem. Complementary upper energy bounds are provided by means of a Gaussian trial function. Detailed res...
متن کاملSemirelativistic Hamiltonians of apparently nonrelativistic form.
We construct effective Hamiltonians which despite their apparently nonrelativistic form incorporate relativistic effects by involving parameters which depend on the relevant momentum. For some potentials the corresponding energy eigenvalues may be determined analytically. Applied to two-particle bound states, it turns out that in this way a nonrelativistic treatment may indeed be able to simula...
