Abstract

The matrix elements of relativistic nucleon-nucleon (NN)(NN) potentials are calculated directly from the nonrelativistic potentials as a function of relative NNNN momentum vectors, without using a partial wave decomposition. To this aim, the quadratic operator relation between the relativistic and nonrelativistic NNNN potentials is formulated in momentum-helicity basis states. It leads to a single integral equation for the two-nucleon (2N)(2N) spin-singlet state and four coupled integral equations for two-nucleon spin-triplet states, which are solved by an iterative method. Our numerical analysis indicates that the relativistic NNNN potential obtained using CD-Bonn potential reproduces the deuteron binding energy and neutron-proton elastic scattering differential and total cross-sections with high accuracy.
