Instant-Form Approach to Two-Body Systems
Abstract
Description
We present a relativistic treatment of the problem of soft electromagnetic structure by the modified instant form of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics. Our approach uses relativistic parametrization and so picks out the relativistic invariant quantities on each stage of the calculation. The electromagnetic current matrix element satisfies the current conservation law automatically. We use relativistic modified impulse approximation. It is constructed in relativistic invariant way. For composite systems (including the spin 1 case) the approach guarantees the uniqueness of the solution and it does not use such concepts as "good" and "bad" current components. The approach describes correctly the spin Wigner rotation and so gives the correct (QCD) asymptotic.
