Wigner function and kinetic theory for massive spin-1/2 particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the Wigner function for massive spin-1/2 particles in an inhomogeneous electromagnetic field to leading order Planck constant ħ. Going beyond ħ we then derive a generalized Boltzmann equation which force exerted by on particle dipole moment arises naturally. Furthermore, kinetic this is derived. Carefully taking massless limit find agreement with previous results. The case of global equilibrium rotation also studied. Our framework can be used study polarization effects induced vorticity and magnetic relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

متن کاملQuantum theory of magnetic quadrupole lenses for spin - 12 particles ∗
General guidelines for constructing a quantum theory of charged-particle beam optics starting ab initio from the basic equations of quantum mechanics, appropriate to the situation under study. In the context of spin-12 particles, these guidelines are used starting with the Dirac equation. The spinor theory just constructed is used to obtain the transfer maps for normal and skew magnetic quadrup...
متن کاملRelativistic Effects on Quantum Bell States of Massive Spin 12 Particles
We examine the behaviour of the maximally entangled Bell state of two spin 12 massive particles under relativistic transformations. On the basis of explicit calculations of the Wigner rotation and the use of transformation properties of Dirac spinors, we establish that the constituent particles of the Bell state undergo momentum dependent rotation of the spin orientations characterized by the W...
متن کاملNonequilibrium statistical field theory for classical particles: Basic kinetic theory.
Recently Mazenko and Das and Mazenko [Phys. Rev. E 81, 061102 (2010); J. Stat. Phys. 149, 643 (2012); J. Stat. Phys. 152, 159 (2013); Phys. Rev. E 83, 041125 (2011)] introduced a nonequilibrium field-theoretical approach to describe the statistical properties of a classical particle ensemble starting from the microscopic equations of motion of each individual particle. We use this theory to inv...
متن کاملModular Localization and Wigner Particles
We propose a framework for the free field construction of algebras of local observables which uses as an input the Bisognano-Wichmann relations and a representation of the Poincaré group on the one-particle Hilbert space. The abstract real Hilbert subspace version of the Tomita-Takesaki theory enables us to bypass some limitations of the Wigner formalism by introducing an intrinsic spacetime lo...
