Description

The mass shifts for two-fermion bound and scattering P-wave states subject to the long-range interactions due to QED in the non-relativistic regime in refs. [1, 2] are presented. Introducing a short range force coupling the spinless fermions to one unit of angular momentum in the framework of pionless EFT, we 􏰚rst report the two-body scattering amplitudes with Coulomb corrections in the in􏰚nite-volume context [3]. Motivated by the research on particle-antiparticle bound states, we show the T-matrix elements and the leading scattering parameters for fermions of identical mass and opposite charge. Second, we immerse the system into a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions and we display the 􏰚nite-volume corrections to the energy of the lowest bound and unbound T1− eigenstates. In particular, power law contributions proportional to the 􏰚ne structure constant and resembling the recent results for S-wave states are found [4]. Higher order terms in α are neglected, since the gapped nature of the momentum operator in the 􏰚nite-volume environment allows for a perturbative treatment of the QED interactions. Some hints concerning the extension of the analysis to D-wave short-range interactions are eventually given.
