Description
It has been shown that there exist transformations that can be used to change the Lorentz transformation character of potentials, which appear in the Dirac equation for elastic scattering. We consider the situation for inelastic scattering described by coupled channel Dirac equations. We examine a two-level problem where both the ground and excited states are assumed to have zero spin. Even in this simple case we have not found an appropriate transformation. However, if the excited state has zero excitation energy it is possible to find a transformation
