We study the scattering theory for a class of non-relativistic quantum field theory models describing a confined non-relativistic atom interacting with a massless relativistic bosonic field. We construct invariant spaces H ± c which are defined in terms of propagation properties for large times and which consist of states containing a finite number of bosons in the region {|x| ≥ ct} for t → ±∞. We show the existence of asymptotic fields and we prove that the associated asymptotic CCR

For these induced representations, we prove the property of geometric asymptotic completeness, which gives a characterization of the vacuum states in terms of propagation properties. Finally we show that a positive commutator estimate imply the asymptotic completeness property, ie the fact that the vacuum states of the induced representations coincide with the bound states of the Hamiltonian.
