Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

The ladder-approximation Bethe-Salpeter equation for a bound spin-½ fermion-antifermion system of zero total mass is reduced in the general case to coupled radial equations for general radial potential functions. Symmetries of the radial equations are also demonstrated.
