Excited states of the Wick-Cutkosky model with the Nakanishi representation in the Light-Front framework
Abstract
The Wick-Cutkosky model is investigated using the framework of the Nakanishi Perturbative Integral Representation projected in the Light-Front hyperplane for an s-wave amplitude. We developed a new technique based on sucessive integration by parts of the Nakanishi Representation which enabled us to transform one of the integrations into a sum. With a set of boundary conditions it was possible to guess the format of the solution, which was in fact a distribution. The eigenequations obtained were the same as the originals of Cutkosky CutPR54. Finally, a numerical check confirmed that the final equation reproduce the same eigenvalues as the initial Bethe-Salpeter equation.
