Application of the relativistic Schr??dinger equation to the bootstrap problem

The relativistic Schrodinger equation is used to investigate the meson bootstrap problem. The forces are computed from the usual Feynman graphs for single particle exchanges. At first, pseudoscalar-pseudoscalarmeson scattering is considered in a multichannel calculation. The vector mesons obtained are recombined with the pseudoscalars, and multichannel vector-pseudoscalar scattering is studied. The pseudoscalars themselves are obtained as bound states, as well as a set of axial vector meson resonances.U of I OnlyThesi
