Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The Darwin contact term appears at order 1/c21/c^2 in the low-energy Foldy–Wouthuysen expansion of Dirac dynamics in an electric field.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is recovered from the source either in a stated mathematical or asymptotic limit, or through a quantitatively controlled approximation with identified small parameters or omitted terms. The edge label and detail must state which case applies and its regime of validity.
