Evaluation of matrix elements ofrkand recurrence relations for the Klein–Gordon equation with a Coulomb field

Abstract: We obtain two useful recurrence relations between diagonal matrix elements for the Klein-Gordon equation with a Coulomb potential. Some explicit expressions of diagonal matrix elements of r k (6 k −6) are presented. The general calculation formulae for off-diagonal matrix elements n 1 l 1 |r k |n 2 l 2 are derived analytically. An important five-term recurrence relation among off-diagonal matrix elements, the analogue to what is known as Blanchard's rule in the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation case, is ob… Show more

“…( 9) is always (i.e. for any observer's velocity v) appropriately normalized while the density ρ N LI ( r) = |ψ nlm ( r)| 2 (used in [17]) is not. This is numerically illustrated in Figure 1 for a pionic atom with nuclear charge Z = 68 in the infinite nuclear mass approximation (π − -meson mass=273.132054 a.u.).…”

“…muonic and pionic atoms [23]). Only recently, Chen and Dong [22] have been able to calculate explicit expressions for these moments and some off-diagonal matrix elements of r k for a Klein-Gordon single-particle of mass m 0 in the Coulomb potential V ( r) = − Ze 2 r . These authors, however, do not use the Lorentz-Invariant (LI) Klein-Gordon charge density…”

“…Let us emphasize that the resulting Lorentz-invariant charge density ρ LI ( r) given by Eqs. ( 3)-( 10) is always (i.e., for any observer's velocity v) appropriately normalized, while the non-Lorentz-invariant density ρ N LI ( r) used by Cheng and Dong [22] is not. This was numerically discussed in Ref [24] for some pionic atoms in the infinite nuclear mass approximation.…”
