Bound states in Yukawa theory

A generalization of the Gell-Mann-Low Theorem is applied to bound state calculations in Yukawa theory. The resulting effective Schroedinger equation is solved numerically for two-fermion bound states with the exchange of a massless boson. The complete low-lying bound state spectrum is obtained for different ratios of the constituent masses. No abnormal solutions are found. We show the consistency of the non-relativistic and one-body limits and discuss the special cases of identical fermions and fermion-antifermion states. To our knowledge, this is the first consistent calculation of bound states in pure Yukawa theory (without UV cutoff).

Three particle states and t-exchanges

The multiple particle final states in modern data from $4 π$ detector experiments offer a wealth of information about higher hadronic resonances and hadron interactions. However, it requires careful analysis to extract model independent results from those data.

The Generalized Gell-Mann--Low Theorem for Relativistic Bound States

The recently established generalized Gell-Mann--Low theorem is applied in lowest perturbative order to bound-state calculations in a simple scalar field theory with cubic couplings. The approach via the generalized Gell-Mann--Low Theorem retains, while being fully relativistic, many of the desirable features of the quantum mechanical approaches to bound states. In particular, no abnormal or unphysical solutions are found in the model under consideration. Both the non-relativistic and one-body limits are straightforward and consistent. The results for the spectrum are compared to those of the Bethe-Salpeter equation (in the ladder approximation) and related equations.
