M ar 1 99 9 DIAS - STP - 98 - 13 Localizing the Relativistic Electron
A causally well-behaved solution of the localization problem for the free electron is given, with natural space-time transformation properties , in terms of Dirac's position operator x. It is shown that, although x is not an observable in the usual sense, and has no positive-energy (generalized) eigenstates, the 4-vector density (ρ(x, t), j(x, t)/c) is observable , and can be localized arbitrar...
متن کاملRelativistic Electron Vortices.
The desire to push recent experiments on electron vortices to higher energies leads to some theoretical difficulties. In particular the simple and very successful picture of phase vortices of vortex charge ℓ associated with ℓℏ units of orbital angular momentum per electron is challenged by the facts that (i) the spin and orbital angular momentum are not separately conserved for a Dirac electron...
متن کاملGeneral Relativistic Models for the Electron
A model is proposed for the classical electron as a point charge with finite electromagnetic self-energy. Modifications of the Reissner-Nordstrøm (spin 0) and Kerr-Newman (spin 1 2) solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations are derived. It is conjectured that spacetime curvature very close to the point charge deforms the electric and magnetic fields such as to reduce the self-energy to a fini...

متن کاملRelativistic electron beams above thunderclouds
Non-luminous relativistic electron beams above thunderclouds have been detected by the radio signals of low frequency ∼40–400 kHz which they radiate. The electron beams occur ∼2–9 ms after positive cloud-to-ground lightning discharges at heights between ∼22–72 km above thunderclouds. Intense positive lightning discharges can also cause sprites which occur either above or prior to the electron b...
