Comparison of Relativistic and Non-relativistic Faddeev calculations for Proton-Deuteron Elastic Scattering

This investigation compares non-relativistic and relativistic nucleon-nucleon potentials in the context of proton-deuteron scattering. Conventional NN potentials (e.g., CDBonn, AV18, Nijmegen) rely on the nonrelativistic Schroedinger equation, whereas the Kharkiv potential is intrinsically relativistic. We employ the Coester-Pieper-Serduke (CPS) and Kamada-Gloeckle (KG) conversion methods to construct a phenomenological-relativistic potential (PRP) from a realistic NN potential, preserving the deuteron binding energy and phase shifts. Focusing on relativistic effects and not including Coulomb forces to avoid complexity, the solutions are compared by solving relativistic and nonrelativistic Faddeev equations. Calculations of the differential cross section using the relativistic Faddeev equation show that relativistic effects - particularly the deviation at the backward angle - become pronounced at 135 MeV. The differences in the forward angle were attributed to the characteristics of the Kharkiv potential itself. The reverse transformation of the Kharkiv potential into a pseudo-nonrelativistic potential (PNRP) confirms that the backward-angle relativistic effect increases with energy in the range from 100 MeV to 400 MeV. Comparisons of the polarization observables indicate that relativistic effects, as well as the discrepancy between the CPS and KG transformations, become significant above 300 MeV. However, for polarization observations below 300 MeV, the nonrelativistic results from PNRP do not deviate significantly from relativistic calculations.

A possible way for constructing generators of the Poincare group in quantum field theory

Starting from the instant form of relativistic quantum dynamics for a system of interacting fields, where amongst the ten generators of the Poincare group only the Hamiltonian and the boost operators carry interactions, we offer an algebraic method to satisfy the Poincare commutators. We do not need to employ the Lagrangian formalism for local fields with the Noether representation of the generators. Our approach is based on an opportunity to separate in the primary interaction density a part which is the Lorentz scalar. It makes possible apply the recursive relations obtained in this work to construct the boosts in case of both local field models (for instance with derivative couplings and spins $\geq1$) and their nonlocal extensions. Such models are typical of the meson theory of nuclear forces, where one has to take into account vector meson exchanges and introduce meson-nucleon vertices with cutoffs in momentum space. Considerable attention is paid to finding analytic expressions for the generators in the clothed-particle representation, in which the so-called bad terms are simultaneously removed from the Hamiltonian and the boosts. Moreover, the mass renormalization terms introduced in the Hamiltonian at the very beginning turn out to be related to certain covariant integrals that are convergent in the field models with appropriate cutoff factors.

Relativistic interactions for the meson-two-nucleon system in the clothed-particle unitary representation

The method of unitary clothing transformations put forward in relativistic quantum field theory (QFT) by Greenberg and Schweber and developed by Shirokov is applied to construct a new family of interactions in the meson-two-nucleon system. Along with a brief exposition of its basic elements we show a specific transition from the initial ``bare'' one-meson and one-nucleon operators and states to their physical ``clothed'' counterparts. We emphasize that the clothing transformations in question do not alter the original total Hamiltonian, but provides a conceptually more transparent representation of the same Hamiltonian in terms of a new set of operators for particles with physical properties and their relativistic interactions. The Hermitian and energy-independent interaction operators for the processes piN -> piN, NN -> NN and NN -> pi NN are derived starting from the Yukawa-type couplings between fermions (nucleons and antinucleons) and bosons (pi-, eta-, rho-, omega-mesons, etc.). These types of interaction have a distinctive off-energy-shell structure which is naturally generated by the unitary transformation that removes from the Hamiltonian the (three-leg) piNN vertex coupling.

Elastic and dynamic form factors of an atomic nucleus in the shell model with correction for the center-of-mass motion

Analytical expressions for the elastic and dynamic form factors (FFs) are derived in the shell model (SM) with a potential well of finite depth. The consideration takes into account the motion of the target-nucleus center of mass (CM). Explanation is suggested for a simultaneous shrinking of the density and momentum distributions of nucleons in nuclei. The convenient working formulae are given to handle the expectation values of relevant multiplicative operators in case of the 1s-1p shell nuclei.

Deuteron-proton charge exchange reaction at small transfer momentum

The charge-exchange reaction pd -> npp at 1 GeV projectile proton energy is studied. This reaction is considered in a special kinematics, when the transfer momentum from the beam proton to fast outgoing neutron is close to zero. Our approach is based on the Alt-Grassberger-Sandhas formulation of the multiple-scattering theory for the three-nucleon system. The matrix inversion method has been applied to take account of the final state interaction (FSI) contributions. The differential cross section, tensor analyzing power $C_{0,yy}$, vector-vector $C_{y,y}$ and vector-tensor $C_{y,xz}$ spin correlation parameters of the initial particles are presented. It is shown, that the FSI effects play a very important role under such kinematical conditions. The high sensitivity of the considered observables to the elementary nucleon-nucleon amplitudes has been obtained.

Study of deuteron-proton charge exchange reaction at small transfer momentum

The charge-exchange reaction pd->npp at 1 GeV projectile proton energy is studied in the multiple-scattering expansion technique. This reaction is considered in a special kinematics, when the transfer momentum from the beam proton to fast neutron is close to zero. The differential cross section and a set of polarization observables are calculated. It was shown that contribution of the final state interaction between two protons is very significant.

Reaction Mechanisms of the Proton - Deuteron Breakup Process at GeV Energies

The deuteron fragmentation by fast protons has been studied both near the kinematics of quasi-free proton - proton scattering and far away from it. We have concentrated on the interplay between different reaction mechanisms associated with the antisymmetrization of the initial and final states and rescattering contributions. A multiple-scattering-expansion technique has been applied to evaluate the reaction amplitude. An essential element of this approach in the momentum representation is the use of the effective nucleon- nucleon interaction constructed by Love and Franey as a two-body t-matrix for the incident proton scattering on a bound nucleon in the deuteron. Along with the five-fold cross sections, the proton analyzing power and the deuteron analyzing powers have been calculated as function of the momentum of the outgoing fast proton. The results are compared with the data obtained by the Gatchina-Saclay collaboration.

Unitary Transformations in Quantum Field Theory and Bound States

Finding the eigenstates of the total Hamiltonian H or its diagonalization is the important problem of quantum physics. However, in relativistic quantum field theory (RQFT) its complete and exact solution is possible for a few simple models only. Unitary transformations (UT's) considered in this survey do not diagonalize H, but convert H into a form which enables us to find approximately some H eigenstates. During the last years there have appeared many papers devoted to physical applications of such UT's. Our aim is to present a systematic and self-sufficient exposition of the UT method. The two general kinds of UT's are pointed out, distinct variations of each kind being possible. We consider in detail the problem of finding the simplest H eigenstates for interacting mesons and nucleons using the so-called ``clothing'' UT and Okubo's UT. These UT's allow us to suggest definite approaches to the problem of two-particle (deuteron-like) bound states in RQFT. The approaches are shown to yield the same two-nucleon quasipotentials in the first nonvanishing approximation. We demonstrate how the particle mass renormalization can be fulfilled in the framework of the ``clothing'' procedure. Besides the UT of the Hamiltonian we discuss the accompanying UT of the Lorentz boost generators.
