spinor field in a sentence
Examples
- Note the \ frac { 1-\ gamma ^ 5 } { 2 } factors in the weak couplings : these factors project out the left handed components of the spinor fields.
- by means of the 2 & times; 2 Pauli matrices, and is not just a scalar wavefunction as in the non-relativistic Schr�dinger equation, but a two-component spinor field:
- The Dirac equation is true for all ] ] } } particles, and the solutions to the equation are spinor fields with two components corresponding to the particle and the other two for the antiparticle.
- Here is a four-component spinor field, which is conventionally split into two two-component spinors in the form : Again this notation is not necessarily standard, the more advanced literature usually writes
- Each index takes the values 1, 2, 3, or 4, so there are components of the entire spinor field, although a completely symmetric wavefunction reduces the number of independent components to.
- For a " massive " particle of spin, there are components for the particle, and another for the corresponding antiparticle ( there are possible values in each case ), altogether forming a-component spinor field:
- In relativistic quantum mechanics, wavefunctions are no longer single-component scalar fields, but now 2 ( 2 " s " + 1 ) component spinor fields, where " s " is the spin of the particle.
- Here, "'J "'and " ? " are the current and charge density of the " matter Dirac electron given by the four-component Dirac spinor field " ? ", the current and charge densities have form:
- The massless Rarita Schwinger equation has a fermionic gauge symmetry : is invariant under the gauge transformation \ psi _ \ mu \ rightarrow \ psi _ \ mu + \ partial _ \ mu \ epsilon, where \ epsilon \ equiv \ epsilon _ \ alpha is an arbitrary spinor field.
- In a given spin manifold, that is in a Riemannian manifold ( M, g ) admitting a spin structure, the Lie derivative of a spinor field \ psi can be defined by first defining it with respect to infinitesimal isometries ( Killing vector fields ) via the Andr?Lichnerowicz's local expression given in 1963:
