%0 Journal Article %T Energy-momentum problem of Bell-Szekeres metric in general relativity and teleparallel gravity %A Sharif %A M. %A Nazir %A Kanwal %J Brazilian Journal of Physics %D 2008 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %R 10.1590/S0103-97332008000100028 %X this paper is devoted to the investigation of the energy-momentum problem in two theories, i.e., general relativity and teleparallel gravity. we use einstein, landau-lifshitz, bergmann-thomson and m£żller's prescriptions to evaluate energy-momentum distribution of bell-szekeres metric in both the theories. it is shown that these prescriptions give the same energy-momentum density components in both general relativity and teleparallel theory. m£żller's prescription yields constant energy in both the theories. %K energy-momentum %K bell-szekeres metric. %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0103-97332008000100028&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
