Abstract:

Two boundary value problems for a system of two relativistic Schrodinger equations, which are differential equations of infinite order, are set and solved. This system describes the interaction of spinless particles in relativistic quantum mechanics. The first problem describes the scattering of two spinless particles accompanied by the appearance of an intermediate spinless particle, and the other problem -- the decay of a spinless particle. It is shown that under the set boundary conditions the problems are self-adjoint, the particle flows are continuous, and the spectra of these problems are bounded below. Thus, unlike the theory based on the Klein-Gordon equation, in this approach the solutions corresponding to the states of free particles with negative energies do not occur. The dependences of the effective cross-section of two-particle scattering and the decay constant of a spinless particle on the energy are obtained. The solutions are accurate within the accepted model.
