Methods on compositeness and related aspects

Abstract

In many physical applications, bound states and/or resonances are observed, which raises the question whether these states are elementary or composite. Here we elaborate on several methods for calculating the compositeness XX of bound states and resonances in Quantum Mechanics, and in Quantum Field Theory by introducing particle number operators. For resonances XX is typically complex and we discuss how to get meaningful results by using certain phase transformations in the SS matrix.
