Many-body Fock sectors in Wick-Cutkosky model

چکیده

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 constant α ≪ 1, its contribution is close to 100%. It decreases with increase of α. For maximal value α = 2π, corresponding to the zero bound state mass, two-body sector contributes to the normalization integral 64%, whereas the three-body contribution is 26% and the sum of all higher contributions from fourto infinite-body sectors is 10%. Contributions to the form factor from different Fock sectors fall off faster for asymptotically large Q2, when the number of particles in the Fock sectors becomes larger. So, asymptotic behavior of the form factor is determined by the two-body Fock sector.

Fine 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...

We consider particle-antiparticle bound states in the scalar Yukawa (Wick-Cutkosky) model. The variational method in the Hamiltonian formalism of quantum field theory is employed. A reformulation of the model is studied, in which covariant Green’s functions are used to solve for the mediating field in terms of the particle fields. A simple Fock-state variational ansatz is used to derive a relat...

The Role of Boundary Conditions in Solving Finite-Energy, Two-Body, Bound-State Bethe-Salpeter Equations

The difficulties that typically prevent numerical solutions from being obtained to finite-energy, two-body, bound-state Bethe-Salpeter equations can often be overcome by expanding solutions in terms of basis functions that obey the boundary conditions. The method discussed here for solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation requires only that the equation can be Wick rotated and that the two angular v...

Improved Variational Description of the Wick-Cutkosky Model with the Most General Quadratic Trial Action

We generalize the worldline variational approach to field theory by introducing a trial action which allows for anisotropic terms to be induced by external 4-momenta of Green’s functions. By solving the ensuing variational equations numerically we demonstrate that within the (quenched) scalar Wick-Cutkosky model considerable improvement can be achieved over results obtained previously with isot...

A general pedagogical survey of the basics of the Bethe-Salpeter equation and in particular Wick-Cutkosky model is given in great technical details. The Bethe-Salpeter approach to the relativistic two-body bound state problem assumes that all needed information about a bound state |B > is contained in the B-S amplitude Φ(x 1 , x 2 ; P B) =< 0|T φ 1 (x 1)φ 2 (x 2)|B > (1) and in its conjugate ¯ ...
