Description

I discuss progress on the application of the clothed-particle representation of
quantum field theory, originally due to Greenberg and Schewber [1] and devel-
oped by O. Shebeko and collaborators [2][3][4], to compute relativistic electron
and neutrino scattering observables off of light nuclei. In this application a
canonical transformation is applied to the Poincaré generators and strong cur-
rents of a local quantum field theory with meson-exchange interactions to con-
struct a new representation of the theory, where the transformed vacuum and
one-particle states are exact eigenstates of the transformed Hamiltonian. The
canonical transformation eliminates all meson-nucleon vertices. The simplest
interaction in the clothed particle representation is a non-local two-body inter-
action. The interaction depends on the original renormalized parameters of the
field theory, which are adjusted to give a realistic description of the two-nucleon
system. The same canonical transformation gives a new representation of the
Poincaré Lie algebra and consistent few-body currents which are used in the
one photon (W,Z) exchange approximation. Preliminary results are presented.
