Talk:Two-body Dirac equations

Please remove all OR

If anyone is reading this and has access to sources for this article please add them (in spite of the many books I have, none of them states these coupled equations, but if there is the Bargman-Wigner equations and the Breit equation there must be sources out there...). Thanks. F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑_ic_i 14:20, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Based on the snippet view, I think the book by Bethe and Salpeter discusses the subject, but I don't have access to a copy. RockMagnetist (talk) 18:07, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑_ic_i, you should have more confidence in your judgment! The original research policy is very relevant here. HCrater, you should read Primary, secondary and tertiary sources. Although it is fine to use primary sources (such as your own papers) to support facts, the interpretations should come from secondary sources, and they should be independent sources (not, for example, a review article written by you).

Unbalanced

This article is unbalanced to an absurd degree. The subject has been around since at least 1929 (see Breit equation), yet the text depends almost entirely on citations of works involving the same author from the 1980's onwards. Surely there must be some review articles or even books on this subject. RockMagnetist (talk) 17:41, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

I have just added a reference ("A tale of three equations: Breit, Eddington—Gaunt, and Two-Body Dirac") that appears to be the missing link. Clearly, HCrater is eminently qualified to supply the missing context - I hope he will soon. RockMagnetist (talk) 19:46, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the refs and cleaning up the external links. F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑_ic_i 23:13, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

No longer unbalanced...

now there are plenty of references, so removed the tag. F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑_ic_i 06:50, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
