Kinks and Particles in Non-integrable Quantum Field Theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In this talk we discuss an elementary derivation of the semi-classical spectrum of neutral particles in two field theories with kink excitations. We also show that, in the non-integrable cases, each vacuum state cannot generically support more than two stable particles, since all other neutral exitations are resonances, which will eventually decay.
