Relativistic NN scattering equations without partial-wave decomposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern experimental facilities such as TJNAF and Julich are probing the baryonic structure and interactions at intermediate energies (∼ GeV), through electromagnetic and strong reactions involving high momentum transfer [1]. To describe the NN interaction in the intermediate energy range (∼ 300 MeV-1 GeV), particle production mechanisms have to be included. Relativistic effects became also important. In this scenario an accurate relativistic treatment of NN scattering, including boosts and retardation effects, is needed. These dynamical aspects are included automatically when one solves de 4-dimensional Bethe-Salpeter integral equation [2]:

Relativistic NN scattering without partial wave decomposition
We consider the covariant Spectator equation with a One Boson Exchange (OBE) kernel, and apply it to the NN system. Relativistic effects such as retardation and negative-energy state components are included in that equation. We develop a method, based on the Padé method, to solve the Spectator equation without partial wave decomposition. The convergence of the partial wave decomposition series ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic scattering from relativistic bound states.
The quasipotential formalism for elastic scattering from relativistic bound states is formulated based on the instant constraint in the Breit frame. The quasipotential electromagnetic current is derived from Mandelstam's vepoint kernel and obeys a two-body Ward identity. Breit-frame wave functions are obtained directly by solving integral equations with nonzero total threemomentum, thus accompl...
متن کاملThree-Body Scattering Below Breakup Threshold: An Approach without using Partial Waves
The Faddeev equation for three-body scattering below the three-body breakup threshold is directly solved without employing a partial wave decomposition. In the simplest form it is a three-dimensional integral equation in four variables. From its solution the scattering amplitude is obtained as function of vector Jacobi momenta. Based on Malfliet-Tjon type potentials differential and total cross...

The recently proposed eight-component relativistic wave equation is applied to the scattering of a photon from a free electron (Compton scattering). It is found that in spite of the considerable difference in the structure of this equation and that of Dirac the cross section is given by the Klein-Nishina formula.

Bethe-Salpeter equation for the massive particles with spin 1 is considered. The scattering amplitude decomposition of the particles with spin 1 by relativistic tensors is derived. The transformation coefficients from helicity amplitudes to invariant functions is found. The integral equations system for invariant functions is obtained and partial decomposition of this system is performed. Equiv...
