A variational calculation of particle--antiparticle bound states in the scalar Yukawa model

Abstract: We consider particle-antiparticle bound states in the scalar Yukawa (Wick-Cutkosky) model. The variational method in the Hamiltonian formalism of quantum field theory is employed. A reformulation of the model is studied, in which covariant Green's functions are used to solve for the mediating field in terms of the particle fields. A simple Fock-state variational ansatz is used to derive a relativistic equation for the particle-antiparticle states. This equation contains one-quantum-exchange and virtual-annihil… Show more

“…For the sake of completeness and having a self-contained paper it is better to recall some of the main points from previous works [12,13]. The Lagrangian density for scalar particles which interact via a mediating scalar field is where g indicates the coupling constant.…”

“…As it has been mentioned, for example, in [7] or [12,13] the theories based on (2.1) and (2.2) are equivalent in the sense that they lead to the same invariant matrix elements in different orders of perturbation theory. The Lagrangian density (2.2) can be written as: …”
