Abstract

The connection between field-theoretic equations based on the Bogolyubov–Medvedev–Polivanov and Lehman–Szymanczyk–Zimmerman \(S\)-matrix methods is discussed [1]. These equations are used to derive three-dimensional time-ordered relativistic Lippmann–Schwinger-type equations for hadronic collision amplitudes with and without quark degrees of freedom [2, 3]. Quark degrees of freedom are considered following the Huang–Weldon approach [4], in which hadrons are considered as bound states of quarks. Numerical solutions of the obtained equations made it possible to describe well the experimental phase shifts of elastic \(\pi N\) and \(NN\) scattering in the low-energy region. Using a separable approximation, a quark–parton model for inclusive production of particles with a large transverse momentum was reproduced [6]. This made it possible to describe the experimental data of inclusive production of a \(\rho \) meson with a large transverse momentum (≤1.5 GeV/c) in a proton–proton collision in the energy region 2.9 ≤ \(\sqrt s \) ≤ 64 GeV [5].

Notes

  1. This region is defined by the conditions \(P \gg \sqrt {{{Q}^{2}}} \) and \({{Q}^{2}} \gg {\mathbf{k}}_{T}^{2}\), where \(k = (\sqrt {m_{V}^{2} + {{{\mathbf{k}}}^{2}}} ,{\mathbf{k}})\); \({{{\mathbf{k}}}_{Z}}\), and \({{{\mathbf{k}}}_{T}}\) denote the four-momentum and the longitudinal and transverse momenta of the meson, respectively.

  2. In the separable approximation, each sufficiently smooth function \(f(x,y)\) can be represented in the form \(f(x,y)\) = \(\sum\nolimits_m {{{g}_{m}}(x){{{\tilde {g}}}_{m}}(y)} \) with arbitrary accuracy. In practical calculations, usually, \(m = 1\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,2\).
