Approximate boost of the relativistic two-body problem in instant formalism

Nuclear Theory 2009-02-12 v2

Abstract

Considering two spinless particles, a simple, approximate boost rule is derived that is sufficient to keep the mass invariant and to relate interactions, vertex functions, wave functions and t-matrices of the instant two-body problem in an arbitrary frame to those in the c.m. frame. The boost generator K{\bf K} that is used provides a solution to the Poincar\'{e} algebra except for the commutator between two components of K{\bf K}, for which it provids an approximate solution.
