  • 1. Departamento de Fisica de Altas Energias, Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Apartado Postal 70-543, 04510 Mexico D.F. (Mexico)

Description

We present a summary of the main steps in the construction of the effective relativistic interaction potential between two charged Dirac particles in the presence of a background weak gravitational field, by extending a procedure previously used for electrodynamics in Minkowski space. We consider the full two-body problem and apply the method to the hydrogen atom.
