Two-particle potential in field theory
D. Rogers, Mitchel D. Kovarik, Jurij W. Darewych
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.
