1: 33.22 Particle Scattering and Atomic and Molecular Spectra
§33.22(iv) Klein–Gordon and Dirac Equations
The relativistic motion of spinless particles in a Coulomb field, as encountered in pionic atoms and pion-nucleon scattering (Backenstoss (1970)) is described by a Klein–Gordon equation equivalent to (33.2.1); see Barnett (1981a). The motion of a relativistic electron in a Coulomb field, which arises in the theory of the electronic structure of heavy elements (Johnson (2007)), is described by a Dirac equation. …

  • Equation (33.11.1)
    33.11.1 H ± ( η , ρ ) e ± i θ ( η , ρ ) k = 0 ( a ) k ( b ) k k ! ( ± 2 i ρ ) k

    Previously this formula was expressed as an equality. Since this formula expresses an asymptotic expansion, it has been corrected by using instead an relation.

  • Equation (5.11.14)

    The previous constraint ( b a ) > 0 was removed, see Fields (1966, (3)).

  • Equation (33.6.5)
    33.6.5 H ± ( η , ρ ) = e ± i θ ( η , ρ ) ( 2 + 1 ) ! Γ ( ± i η ) ( k = 0 ( a ) k ( 2 + 2 ) k k ! ( 2 i ρ ) a + k ( ln ( 2 i ρ ) + ψ ( a + k ) ψ ( 1 + k ) ψ ( 2 + 2 + k ) ) k = 1 2 + 1 ( 2 + 1 ) ! ( k 1 ) ! ( 2 + 1 k ) ! ( 1 a ) k ( 2 i ρ ) a k )

    Originally the factor in the denominator on the right-hand side was written incorrectly as Γ ( + i η ) . This has been corrected to Γ ( ± i η ) .

  • Equation (33.11.1)
    33.11.1 H ± ( η , ρ ) = e ± i θ ( η , ρ ) k = 0 ( a ) k ( b ) k k ! ( ± 2 i ρ ) k

    Originally the factor in the denominator on the right-hand side was written incorrectly as ( 2 i ρ ) k . This has been corrected to ( ± 2 i ρ ) k .

  • Subsections 8.18(ii)8.11(v)

    A sentence was added in §8.18(ii) to refer to Nemes and Olde Daalhuis (2016). Originally §8.11(iii) was applicable for real variables a and x = λ a . It has been extended to allow for complex variables a and z = λ a (and we have replaced x with z in the subsection heading and in Equations (8.11.6) and (8.11.7)). Also, we have added two paragraphs after (8.11.9) to replace the original paragraph that appeared there. Furthermore, the interval of validity of (8.11.6) was increased from 0 < λ < 1 to the sector 0 < λ < 1 , | ph a | π 2 δ , and the interval of validity of (8.11.7) was increased from λ > 1 to the sector λ > 1 , | ph a | 3 π 2 δ . A paragraph with reference to Nemes (2016) has been added in §8.11(v), and the sector of validity for (8.11.12) was increased from | ph z | π δ to | ph z | 2 π δ . Two new Subsections 13.6(vii), 13.18(vi), both entitled Coulomb Functions, were added to note the relationship of the Kummer and Whittaker functions to various forms of the Coulomb functions. A sentence was added in both §13.10(vi) and §13.23(v) noting that certain generalized orthogonality can be expressed in terms of Kummer functions.
