Breit Hamiltonian and QED Effects for Spinless Particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a simplified derivation for the relativistic corrections of order α 4 for a bound system consisting of two spinless particles. We devote special attention to pionium, the bound system of two oppositely charged pions. The leading quantum electrodynamic (QED) correction to the energy levels is of the order of α 3 and due to electronic vacuum polarization. We analyze further corrections due to the self-energy of the pions, and due to recoil effects, and we give a complete result for the scalar-QED leading logarithmic corrections which are due to virtual loops involving only the scalar constituent particles (the pions); these corrections are of order α 5 ln α for S states.

Note on restoring manifest rotational symmetry in hyperfine and fine structure in light-front QED.
We study the part of the renormalized, cutoff QED light-front Hamiltonian that does not change particle number. The Hamiltonian contains interactions that must be treated in second-order bound state perturbation theory to obtain hyperfine structure. We show that a simple unitary transformation leads directly to the familiar Breit-Fermi spin-spin and tensor interactions, which can be treated in ...
متن کاملHamiltonian of a many-electron atom in an external magnetic field and classical electrodynamics
2014 The increasing precision of experiments on the Zeeman effect of many electron atoms requires an ever increasing knowledge of relativistic and radiative effects. The generalization of the Breit equation as proposed by Hegstrom includes all these effects up to order c2014 3. In the non relativistic limit the resulting Hamiltonian is quite intricate, but we show in this paper that it is possi...
متن کاملTHE SPINLESS SALPETER EQUATION AND MESON DYNAMICS
Applying the variational method, the spinless reduced Bethe-Salpeter (RBS) equation is solved for the mesonic systems, and the mass spectra are obtained. The method is applied to the Hamiltonian with the Gaussian and hydrogen-type trial wave functions, and different potential models are examined. The results for the different potentials are in challenge in light mesons, while they are consisten...
متن کاملA Variational Approach to the Spinless Relativistic Coulomb Problem
By application of a straightforward variational procedure we derive a simple, analytic upper bound on the ground-state energy eigenvalue of a semirelativistic Hamiltonian for (one or two) spinless particles which experience some Coulomb-type interaction.
متن کاملRelativistic correlation
Fundamental breakthroughs have recently been achieved in relativistic quantum chemistry based on the no-pair Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian (for a recent review see Ref. [1]). However, there still exist two issues that require great attention, i.e., how to go beyond the nopair approximation so as to account for the correlation contributions of negative energy states and how to do relativistic ...
