Abstract

We consider a quantum field theory that creates at any point of the space-time particles described by a q-deformed Heisenberg algebra which is interpreted as a phenomenological quantum theory describing the scattering of spin-0 composed particles. We discuss the generalization of Wick’s expansion for this case and we compute perturbatively the scattering 1+21+2 to second order in the coupling constant. The result we find shows that the structure of a composed particle, described here phenomenologically by the deformed algebraic structure, can modify in a simple but nontrivial way the perturbation expansion for the process under consideration.
