Abstract: (Elsevier)
The first part of the paper contains a systematic study of the spinor-scalar Bethe-Salpeter equation with a scalar ladder-like interaction. By expansion and truncation procedures a finite system of linear homogeneous equations is obtained which represent the Bethe-Salpeter equation in the space of convenient basis functions. In the second part a relativistic parton model of baryons is suggested. The three-point Bethe-Salpeter amplitude of the bound state baryon is approximated by a decomposition which involves the solutions of a generalized spinor-scalar Bethe-Salpeter equation. These solutions might be interpreted as the single-parton amplitudes. It is assumed that the long-range effective interaction has a Coulomb-type asymptotic behaviour. A linear leading Regge trajectory is achieved by assuming that the effective mass of partons is a particular function of the c.m. energy of the baryon.
