چکیده
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 relativistic equation for the particle-antiparticle states. This equation contains one-quantum-exchange and virtual-annihilation interactions. It is shown that analytic solutions of this equation can be obtained for the simplified case where only the virtual annihilation interaction is retained. More generally, numerical and perturbative solutions of the equation are obtained for the massive and massless-exchange cases. We compare our results with various Bethe-Salpeter-based calculations.

A saturating hamiltonian is presented in a relativisti-cally covariant formalism. The interaction is described by scalar and vector mesons, with coupling strengths adjusted to the nuclear matter. No explicit density dependence is assumed. The hamilto-nian is applied in a QMD calculation to determine the fragment distribution in O + Br collision at different energies (50 – 200 MeV/u) to test the...

The evolution of dynamical perturbations is examined in nuclear multifragmentation in the frame of Vlasov equation. Both plane wave and bubble type of perturbations are investigated in the presence of surface (Yukawa) forces. An energy condition is given for the allowed type of instabilities and the time scale of the exponential growth of the instabilities is calculated. The results are compare...

We derive a model Hamiltonian whose ground state expectation value of any two-body operator coincides with that obtained with the Jastrow correlated wave function of the many-body Fermi system. Using this Hamiltonian we show that the variational principle can be extended to treat systems with dynamical mesons, even if in this case the concept of wave function looses its meaning.
