Description
Book SynopsisIntroduces modern developments on the bound state problem in Schrödinger potential theory and its applications in particle physics. It covers two-body problems, relativistic generalisations, the inverse problem, 3-body and N-body problems. Emphasis is given to showing how theory can be tested by experiment. Many references are provided.
Trade Review'The book is clearly written, general results are illustrated by concrete applications to atomic and particle physics and the authors do not assume a knowledge of advanced mathematics. All that make this book very useful and valuable for theoretical and experimental particle and atomic physicists, especially for newcomers to the field.' Robert Alicki, Zentralblatt für Mathematik
