Effects of Relativistic Dynamics in $pp \to pp \pi^0$ near Threshold

Nuclear Theory 2016-08-15 v1

Abstract

The cross-section for threshold π0\pi^0 production in proton-proton collisions is evaluated in the framework of the covariant spectator description. The negative energy intermediate states are included non-perturbatively and seen to yield a considerably smaller contribution, when compared to perturbative treatments. A family of OBE-models with different off-shell scalar coupling is considered.
