Bullough-Dodd model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bullough-Dodd model is an integrable model in 1+1-dimensional quantum field theory. Its Lagrangian density is

\mathcal{L}=\frac{1}{2}(\partial_\mu\phi)^2-\frac{m_0^2}{6g^2}(2e^{g\phi} +e^{-2g\phi})

where m_0\, is a mass parameter, g\, is the coupling constant and \phi\, is a real scalar field.

The Bullough-Dodd model belongs to the class of Affine Toda Field Theories.

The spectrum of the model consists of a single massive particle.
