Abstract

We generalize the time-honored Weinberg's compositeness relations by including the range corrections through considering a general form factor. In Weinberg's derivation, he considered the effective range expansion up to O(p2)\mathcal{O}(p^2) and made two additional approximations: neglecting the non-pole term in the Low equation; approximating the form factor by a constant. We lift the second approximation, and work out an analytic expression for the form factor. For a positive effective range, the form factor is of a single-pole form. An integral representation of the compositeness is obtained and is expected to have a smaller uncertainty than that derived from Weinberg's relations. We also establish an exact relation between the wave function of a bound state and the phase of the scattering amplitude neglecting the non-pole term. The deuteron is analyzed as an example, and the formalism can be applied to other cases where range corrections are important.
