Bullough–Dodd model

The Bullough–Dodd model is an integrable model in 1+1-dimensional quantum field theory introduced by Robin Bullough and Roger Dodd. Its Lagrangian density is

$\mathcal{L}=\frac{1}{2}(\partial_\mu\phi)^2-\frac{m_0^2}{6g^2}(2e^{g\phi} +e^{-2g\phi})$

where $m_0\,$ is a mass parameter, $g\,$ is the coupling constant and $\phi\,$ is a real scalar field.

The Bullough–Dodd model belongs to the class of Affine Toda Field Theories.

The spectrum of the model consists of a single massive particle.
