A covariant two-nucleon wave equation with retardation contributions

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

A covariant wave equation is derived for the study of two-body nuclear systems. The retardation effects are consistently taken into account from the very beginning of the derivation. The non-relativistic reduction up to orderc -2 is shown to be explicitly consistent with the results given by the Poincaré algebra commutation rules.
