Description

The relativistic mechanics of two scalar particles in a 12-dimensional phase space is considered. The Coulomb and gravitational two-body interactions are studied and the resulting motion is completely solved. This theory with the correct Galileian limit is in close agreement with the treatment of a single relativistic particle in an external field. The latter case is then systematically recovered by taking the appropriate limit on the masses of the particles. (author)
