Abstract
We show that, in the relativistic regime, scalar bosons satisfy a quantum wave equation which is quite analogous to the Dirac equation. In contrast with the Klein-Gordon equation it is first order with respect to time derivation. It leads in a regular way to the standard Schr\"odinger equation in the non-relativistic limit. There are two components for the wave function in this representation for the scalar boson, in a way completely analogous to the four components for the spin 1/2 fermion in the Dirac equation.
