The many-particle binding energy in the model [Formula: see text] in 1 + 1 dimensions is obtained using simple nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. We determine an effective two-particle potential from approximate field-theoretical solutions of the two-particle bound state and use it to obtain the many-particle binding energy. The results agree reasonably well with numerical calculations of the three- and four-particle binding energy in the field theory for weak coupling, λ. We also use this nonrelativistic potential to calculate the two-particle scattering amplitude.

A simple method to compute QED bound state properties is presented, in which binding energy effects are treated nonperturbatively. It is shown that to take the effects of all ladder Coulomb photon exchanges into account, one can simply perform the derivative of standard QED amplitudes with respect to the external momentum. For example, the derivative of the light-by-light scattering amplitude gives an amplitude for orthopositronium decay to three photons where any number of Coulomb photon exchanges between the e+e-is included.Various applications are presented. From them, it is shown that binding energy must be treated nonperturbatively in order to preserve the analyticity of positronium decay amplitudes.Interesting perspectives for quarkonium physics are briefly sketched.

It is pointed out that, for any model with bound state, contrary to the case of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, perturbation expansion based on Feynman rules in relativistic quantum field theory is not asymptotic of physical amplitude in which the effects of bound state are considered.

Abstract We have measured, for the first time, the inclusive missing-mass spectrum of the $^{12}$C$(K^-, p)$ reaction at an incident kaon momentum of 1.8 GeV/$c$ at the J-PARC K1.8 beamline. We observed a prominent quasi-elastic peak ($K^-p \rightarrow K^-p$) in this spectrum. In the quasi-elastic peak region, the effect of secondary interaction is apparently observed as a peak shift, and the peak exhibits a tail in the bound region. We compared the spectrum with a theoretical calculation based on the Green’s function method by assuming different values of the parameters for the $\bar{K}$–nucleus optical potential. We found that the spectrum shape in the binding-energy region $-300 \, \text{MeV} < B_{K} < 40$ MeV is best reproduced with the potential depths $V_0 = -80$ MeV (real part) and $W_0 = -40$ MeV (imaginary part). On the other hand, we observed a significant event excess in the deeply bound region around $B_{K} \sim 100$ MeV, where the major decay channel of $K^- NN \to \pi\Sigma N$ is energetically closed, and the non-mesonic decay modes ($K^- NN \to \Lambda N$ and $\Sigma N$) should mainly contribute. The enhancement is fitted well by a Breit–Wigner function with a kaon-binding energy of 90 MeV and width 100 MeV. A possible interpretation is a deeply bound state of a $Y^{*}$-nucleus system.

A systematic discussion of the probability of eta and KL bound-state decays—[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text](l=e, μ)—within a three-dimensional reduction to the two-body quantum field theory is presented. The bound-state vertex function depends on the relative momentum of constituent-like particles. A structure-transition form factor is defined by a confinement-type quark-antiquark wave function. The phenomenology of this kind of decays is analyzed.

From the modern viewpoint and by the geometric method, this paper provides a concise foundation for the quantum theory of massless spin-3/2 field in Minkowski spacetime, which includes both the one-particle's quantum mechanics and the many-particle's quantum field theory. The explicit result presented here is useful for the investigation of spin-3/2 field in various circumstances such as supergravity, twistor programme, Casimir effect, and quantum inequality.
