Abstract

A model of a relativistically invariant Hamiltonian 2-particle interaction is given. It is classical in the sense of having 6 degrees of freedom. This model shows that the author's earlier general definition of such systems is not vacuous. In this model the forces of interaction die away as the particles are removed from each other.
