Born amplitudes and seagull term in meson-soliton scattering

  • 1. Kentucky Univ., Lexington (USA). Dept. of Physics and Astronomy

Description

The meson-soliton scattering for the φ4 theory in 1+1 dimensions is calculated. We show that when the seagull term from the equal time commutator is included in addition to the Born amplitudes, the t-matrix from the reduction formula approach is identical to that of the potential scattering with small quantum fluctuations to leading order in weak coupling. The seagull term is equal to the Born term in the potential scattering. This confirms the speculation that the leading order Yukawa coupling is derivable from the classical soliton. (orig.)
