Abstract: It is demonstrated within the framework of a model field theory that the vanishing of wavefunction and vertex-function renormalization constants is not a sufficient condition to make an elementary particle equivalent to a three particle bound state. It is noticed that the Jin-MacDoweU cancellation for the three particle bound state does not hold good.

1. INTRODUCTION Many authors [1 ] have demonstrated within the framework of model field theories that under vanishing of wavefunction and vertex-function renormalization constants an elementary particle can be considered equivalent to a bound state. Similar conclusions [2] have been obtained for the equivalence between an unstable elementary particle and a resonant state. The above conclusions have been obtained for the case in which the bound state or the resonant state in question coltsists of two particles. The aim of this paper is to investigate under what conditions an elementary particle can be regarded as equivalent to a three particle bound state. To consider this problem we work within the framework of a soluble model field theory which consists of five particles U, V, N, 0 and 01 . The particles U, V and N are fixed in space but 0 and 01 can have nonrelativistic motion. We demonstrate that the irreducible part of the N001 ~N001 scattering amplitude develops a pole corresponding to an N001 bound state, this pole induces a pole in the reducible part of the scattering amplitude and these two poles do not cancel with each other i.e. the Jin-MacDowell [3] cancellation does not hold good for a three particle bound state. Conditions are found under which the U - particle can be regarded as equivalent to the N001 -bound state. It is noticed contrary to the two particle case that vanishing of wave function and vertex-function renormalization constants are not sufficient conditions for the equivalence between the U -particle and the N001-bound stare.

The scattering amplitude for the process NO01 ~NO01 in the c.m.s, can be written as

T(E,k) =f2 (k)ff (k) r2(E,k) A U (E,k) + T 1 (E,k),

(2)

where T1 (E,k) is that part of the N001 -+ N00 scattering amplitude which contains n o contribution . . from the U -pamcle, . , Au(E,k )1 is the U .particle complete propagator and F(E,k)is the UN001 vertex function. T 1 (E,k) satisfies an integral equation which is represented diagramatically in fig. 1. The solution of this integral equation is discussed in the appendix and we find

T 1 (E,k) = D(E,k) + C(E,k), N.

3. POLES OF THE T(E,k)

T(E,k) the

total scattering amplitude for

NO01-->NO01 is given by

T(E,k) = f2(k)fl2 (k) r 2 (E,k) A U (E,k) + D(E,k) +C(E,k).

(8)

The expression (A5) indicates that C can develop a pole for sufficiently large g and corresponding to the N001 bound state, i.e.

d(E = roB) = 0 where m B is the mass of the N001 bound state. Eqs. (3) (5) and (2) indicate that this pole induces a pole in the reducible part of the scattering amplitude at E = m B. It can easily be checked that R 1 ¢ - R 2,

(9)

where R 1 is the residue* of the pole of the irreducible part at E = m B and R 2 is the residue of the induced pole of the reducible part at E = m B. It implies that the pole of T1 the irreducible part of the scattering amplitude does contribute to the total scattering amplitude contrary to the assertion made by Jill and MacDowell [3] for 2 particle ~ 2 particle scattering amplitude.

where k,k I and k', k'1 represent momenta of incoming and outgoing 0,01" Here momentum dependence is written explicitly for the sake of keeping track of different momenta while solving the integral equation. To solve this integral equation we make use of Weinberg's method of decomposing T1 the irreducible part of N001~ N001 scattering amplitude, into disconnected part and connected part, and then solving the integral equation for the connected part; (A.2)

T 1 (k',k' 1 ;k,kl) = D(k',k' 1 ;k,kl) + C(k; k' 1 ;k,kl) where the disconnected part t
