Sum rule of the correlation function

Abstract

We discuss a sum rule satisfied by the correlation function of two particles with small relative momenta. The sum rule, which results from the completeness condition of the quantum states of the two particles, is first derived and then we check how it works in practice. The sum rule is shown to be trivially satisfied by free particle pair, and then there are considered three different systems of interacting particles. We discuss a pair of neutron and proton in the s-wave approximation and the case of the so-called hard spheres with the phase shifts taken into account up to l=4. Finally, the Coulomb system of two charged particles is analyzed.
