We investigate the spin dynamics and the conservation of helicity in the first order S-matrix of a Dirac particle in any static magnetic field. We express the dynamical quantities using a coordinate system defined by the three mutually orthogonal vectors; the total momentum k = pf + pi, the momentum transfer q = pf-pi, and 1 = k x q. We show that this leads to an alternative symmetric description of the conservation of helicity in a static magnetic field at first order. In particular, we show that helicity conservation in the transition can be viewed as the invariance of the component of the spin along k and the flipping of its component along q, just as what happens to the momentum vector of a ball bouncing off a wall. We also derive a "plug and play" formula for the transition matrix element where the only reference to the specific field configuration, and the incident and outgoing momenta is through the kinematical factors multiplying a general matrix element that is independent of the specific vector potential present.

SHIFTED 1/N EXPANSION FOR THE KLEIN-GORDON EQUATION WITH VECTOR AND SCALAR POTENTIALS
MUSTAFA, O; Sever, Ramazan (1991-10-01)
The shifted 1/N expansion method has been extended to solve the Klein-Gordon equation with both scalar and vector potentials. The calculations are carried out to the third-order correction in the energy series. The analytical results are applied to a linear scalar potential to obtain the relativistic energy eigenvalues. Our numerical results are compared with those obtained by Gunion and Li [Phys. Rev. D 12, 3583 (1975)].
Approximate Solutions of Dirac Equation with Hyperbolic-Type Potential
Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (2015-09-01)
The energy eigenvalues of a Dirac particle for the hyperbolic-type potential field have been computed approximately. It is obtained a transcendental function of energy, F(E), by writing in terms of confluent Heun functions. The numerical values of energy are then obtained by fixing the zeros on "E-axis" for both complex functions Re[F(E)] and Im[F(E)].
Electrically charged vortex solutions in Born-Infeld theory with a Chern-Simons term
Çimşit, Mustafa; İpekoğlu, Yusuf; Department of Physics (2003)
In this thesis, we considered electrically charged vortex solutions of Born- Infeld Chern-Simons gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions, with a sixth order charged scalar eld potential. For this purpose, rst Nielsen-Olesen vortex solutions are extensively reviewed. Then, Born-Infeld and Chern-Simons theories are summarized. Finally, vortex solutions are obtained for the Born-Infeld-Higgs system with a Chern-Simons term. These solutions are analyzed numerically, comparing their properties with Nielsen-Olesen vortices.
Approximate Analytical Solutions of Dirac Equation with Spin and Pseudo Spin Symmetries for the Diatomic Molecular Potentials Plus a Tensor Term with Any Angular Momentum
Akçay, Hüseyin; Sever, Ramazan (2013-11-01)
Approximate analytical solutions of the Dirac equation are obtained for some diatomic molecular potentials plus a tensor interaction with spin and pseudospin symmetries with any angular momentum. We find the energy eigenvalue equations in the closed form and the spinor wave functions by using an algebraic method. We also perform numerical calculations for the Poschl-Teller potential to show the effect of the tensor interaction. Our results are consistent with ones obtained before.
Non-Abelian gauge theories of the Yang-Mills type
Abuhatab, Ahmed; Başkal, Sibel; Department of Physics (2003)
In this thesis, starting from the effective Lagrangians of the standard Yang-Mills, higher derivative Yang-Mills and the Chern-Simons- Yang-Mills theories, we have given the corresponding field equations and the symmetric gauge invariant energy- momentum tensors. Lagrangians containing higher derivative terms have been found useful for discussing the long lange effects of the gluon fields. A numeri cal solution is found for a spherically symmetric static gauge potential. On the other hand, Chern-Simons- Yan...
