Few-Body Systems Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The novel procedure for the light-front (LF) quantization is formulated and applied for models of free scalar fields. The expected well-known results are rediscovered for a single field and new results are obtained for the two fields model. We use fields smeared with a test function on the LF hypersurface as the basic ingredient of our novel quantization procedure.
