The eriksenlike form of the foldy-wouthuysen transformation for the photon

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation for free or interacting photons is obtained in an Eriksenlike form from a (6× 6) real formulation of Maxwell equations.

Riassunto

Da una formulazione reale (6×6) delle equazioni di Maxwell si ottiene, in una forma di tipo Eriksen, la trasformazione di Foldy-Wouthuysen per fotoni liberi o interagenti.
