Effects of Relativistic Dynamics in pp pp π0 near Threshold
Abstract
The cross-section for threshold π0 production in proton-proton collisions is evaluated in the framework of the covariant spectator description. The negative energy intermediate states are included non-perturbatively and seen to yield a considerably smaller contribution, when compared to perturbative treatments. A family of OBE-models with different off-shell scalar coupling is considered.
