Weak and Strong Binding Limits of the Bethe-Salpeter Equation

摘要

The strong and the weak binding limits of the Bethe-Salpeter equation are compared. It is shown that in the case of strong binding the instantaneous limit leads to a Schroedinger-type equation which contains the square of the potential and gives quadratic mass formula for the mesons.
