Classical Dynamics of the Meson

Abstract

THE interaction energy between two nuclear particles in the case of interaction transfer by single Bose particles, that is, g2e- K0r/r, can be obtained either by identifying it classically with the Green's function of, for example, Δφ-K02φ = 0 (K0 = mc/h) for the field of mesons transferring the interaction, or by a computation on the lines of quantum electrodynamics. The latter method leads to the same result, because the quantum-mechanical expression for interaction,
