Abstract

Recently developed techniques for calculating the 8-matrix in noncompact Lie-groups are extended to supersymmetry. The Dirac-Coulomb problem is shown to provide a natural realization of supersymmetry. The treatment given here may be useful in the discussion of nucleus-nucleus interactions and resulting general questions.
