Abstract
We discuss the scattering of relativistic spin zero particles by an infinitely long and arbitrarily thin solenoid. The exact solution of the first-quantized problem can be obtained as a mimic of the nonrelativistic case, either in the original Aharonov-Bohm way or by using the Berry's magnetization scheme. The perturbative treatment is developed in the Feshbach-Villars two-component formalism for the Klein-Gordon equation and it is shown that it also requires renormalization as in the Schrodinger counterpart. The results are compared with those of the field theoretical approach which corresponds to the two-body sector of the scalar Chern-Simons theory.
