Relativistic many-body bound systems: electromagnetic properties. Monograph report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7306402

The formulae for the calculation of the electron scattering form factors, and of the static magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, of relativistic many-body bound systems are derived. The framework, given in NBS Monograph 147, is relativistic quantum field theory in the Schrodinger picture; the physical particles, i.e., the solutions of the interacting fields, are given as linear combinations of the solutions of the free fields, called the parton fields. The parton--photon interaction is taken as given by minimal coupling. In addition, the contribution of the photon--vector meson vertex of the vector dominance model is derived.
