Abstract

We have studied the Wigner distributions of a physical electron using the light-front wavefunctions of the QED model where the physical electron is considered as a composite system of a bare electron and a photon. The Wigner distributions for an unpolarized as well as a longitudinally polarized electron are presented here. Our results reveal the multi-dimensional images of the electron in impact-parameter, momentum and mixed space.
