Using the operator relations
We can obtain the relativitic Schrödinger equation, also known as the Klein-Gordon equation.
The number of particles in a beam passing through a unit area per unit time is
The number of stationary target particles per unit volume is
where is the relative velocity between the particles in the frame where particle 1 is at rest
Using the relativistic definition of energy
Letting be the energy of particle 2 wiith respect to particle 1, the relativistic energy equation can be rewritten such that
where similarly
is defined as the momentum of particle 2 with respect to particle 1.
The relative velocity can be expressed as
The invariant form of F is
where in the center of mass frame
and
As shown earlier
