Gauge invariance in two-particle scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

It is shown how gauge invariance is obtained for the coupling of a photon to a two-body state described by the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. This is illustrated both for a complex scalar field theory and for interaction kernels derived from chiral effective Lagrangians.
