Removal of singularities from the covariant spectator theory
arXiv:2104.04495 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.104.054020
Abstract
A modification of the one boson exchange (OBE) kernel for the covariant spectator theory (CST) is presented and discussed. When applied to the scattering of two identical particles, the previously used kernels either introduced spurious singularities, or removed them in an ad-hoc way. The new modification not only removes these singularities, but also maintains the convergence of the two-body CST equation (sometimes called the Gross equation) when used to describe the scattering of two identical scalar particles.
