Covariant four-dimensional scattering equations for the N N - pi N N system
Feb, 1995Citations per year
Abstract:
We derive a set of coupled four-dimensional integral equations for the system using our modified version of the Taylor method of classification-of-diagrams. These equations are covariant, obey two and three-body unitarity and contain subtraction terms which eliminate the double-counting present in some previous four-dimensional equations. The equations are then recast into a from convenient for computation by grouping the subtraction terms together and obtaining a set of two-fragment scattering equations for the amplitudes of interest.Note:
