Casimir self-energy of a free electron

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We derive the electromagnetic self-energy and the radiative correction to the gyromagnetic ratio of a free electron using a Casimir energy approach. This method provides an attractive and straightforward physical basis for the renormalization process.
