Abstract
The interaction is studied in the Bethe-Salpeter approximation by first obtaining the "effective" interaction Hamiltonian with the help of the lowest order matrix for scattering. This Hamiltonian is then used to set up a Goldberger-type integral equation for scattering which is solved for the cases of total isotopic spins , assuming the mesons to be in states with respect to each other. It is found that the interaction in the state is too strongly attractive to give a resonance. On the other hand, a resonance is obtained for the case , at a momentum (in the center-of-mass system) Mev/c for each meson, taking .
