Relativistic Dynamics in Nuclear and Particle Physics In compact systems, like nuclei as well as nucleons and mesons, built out of quarks, large momenta will occur and thus relativistic kinematics must be used to avoid loss of precision. However, using the correct kinematics is not sufficient to fully implement relativity in such systems. In addition, dynamics must be formulated relativistically. In the talk different ways to do this will be discussed. It will be outlined that "relativistic effects" can only be defined in a specific context. Moreover, in order to facilitate the comparison of different approaches, benchmark calculations based on a well-defined dynamical model turn out to be desirable. |
