Centre-of-mass state vectors
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
The properties of centre-of-mass systems at high energies are discussed, and the single time form of field theory is used to set up state vectors that describe the simpler centre-of-mass states of fields. These states, which are labelled by the eigenvalues of total angular momentum, are expanded in terms of the spherical harmonic resolution of the fields about a fixed point. A discussion of the application of the method to pion-nucleon scattering is given.
