Classical theory of mesons
@inproceedings{Bhabha1939ClassicalTO, title={Classical theory of mesons}, author={Homi Jehangir Bhabha}, year={1939} }
The quantum theory of the meson (Kemmer 1938; Frohlich, Heitler and Kemmer 1938; Bhabha 1938; Yukawa, Sakata and Taketani 1938; Stueckelberg 1938), in spite of its great similarity to the quantum theory of radiation, differs from it in certain important respects. The total Hamiltonian for the system of protons or neutrons and mesons contains terms in the interaction energy of mesons with the heavy particles which increase with increasing energy of the mesons. This has brought physicists to the…

Note on the correspondence between the classical and quantum theories of neutral mesons
- Physics
- 1941
SummaryThe classical theory of mesons only contains the fundamental constant ξ. The rest mass μ of the meson is introduced only when the theory is quantized by the relation μ=ℏχ. As a result,…

SummaryIt is shown that the scattering of neutral mesonsby the spin of the heavy particles (g2 interaction) on the quantum theory agrees completely in its dependence on energy, scattering angle, and…
On the scattering of scalar mesons
- Physics
- 1945
SummaryThe classical formulæ for the scattering of scalar mesons by a neutron are obtained taking account of the radiation damping. The neutron is assumed to possess a ‘charge’ and a ‘dipole moment’.…

SummaryThe previous paper having shown that all divergences and large crosssections for neutral mesons being due entirely to neglect of radiation reaction, an attempt is made in this paper to remove…

It is shown that the production of mesons and nucleons in very energetic nucleon-nucleon collisions depends essentially on the extent to which the observed rest mass of a nucleon is due to its meson…
