Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau equation approach to pionic atoms

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
We lay down the formalism for the treatment of pionic atoms level widths and shifts using the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau equation. Interactions are introduced in a Lorentz invariant way. An analytical transformation is shown that connects between different sets of interactions. The Kisslinger potential is obtained as a special case of a scalar-tensor optical potential. Results are shown in the accompanying paper.
