Exact supersymmetry in the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We consider a Pauli particle in a Coulomb field. The supersymmetric Hamiltonian is constructed, by explicitly giving the two supercharges Q1Q_{1} and Q2 Q_{2} in the full three-dimensional space and which together with the Hamiltonian, are shown to constitute an S(2)S(2) superalgebra. This offers an alternative way of grouping the energy eigenstates into irreducible representations of this symmetry group of the Hamiltonian.
