Deriving relativistic momentum and energy
We present a new derivation of the expressions for momentum and energy of a relativistic particle. Contrary to the procedures commonly adopted in textbooks, the one suggested here requires only the knowledge of the composition law for velocities along one spatial dimension and does not make use of the concept of relativistic mass. The basic ideas are very general and can be applied also to kine...
متن کاملOne-dimensional nonrelativistic and relativistic Brownian motions: A microscopic collision model
We study a simple microscopic model for the one-dimensional stochastic motion of a (non)relativistic Brownian particle, embedded into a heat bath consisting of (non)relativistic particles. The stationary momentum distributions are identified self-consistently (for both Brownian and heat bath particles) by means of two coupled integral criteria. The latter follow directly from the kinematic cons...
متن کاملRelativistic bound-state equations in three dimensions.
Firstly, a systematic procedure is derived for obtaining three-dimensional bound-state equations from four-dimensional ones. Unlike “quasi-potential approaches” this procedure does not involve the use of delta-function constraints on the relative four-momentum. In the absence of negative-energy states, the kernels of the three-dimensional equations derived by this technique may be represented a...
