Abstract

The Bethe–Salpeter (BS) equation for the imaginary part of the scattering amplitude is examined in the ladder approximation of scalar quantum electrodynamics (QED). Asymptotic solutions of the BS equation derived for the imaginary part of the scattering amplitude are shown to exhibit the Regge amplitude behavior for small momentum transfer and scattering in the forward direction and at arbitrary angles.
