Lorentz-Lorenz effect and the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau equation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The introduction of scalar interactions in the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau equation induces the appearance of Darwin terms in the effective Klein-Gordon equation that resemble the Ericson-Ericson Lorentz-Lorenz effect in pion-nucleus scattering. The xi/sub ..pi../ parameter turns out to be xi/sub ..pi../approx.2 in agreement with recent calculations of the effect.
