Measuring the internal clock of the electron

Classical Physics 2012-07-19 v2 General Physics

Abstract

The existence of an internal frequency associated to any elementary particle conjectured by de Broglie is compared with a classical description of the electron, where this internal structure corresponds to the motion of the centre of charge around the centre of mass of the particle. This internal motion has a frequency twice de Broglie's frequency, which corresponds to the frequency found by Dirac when analysing the electron structure. To get evidence of this internal electron clock a kind of experiment as the one performed by Gouan\'ere et al. \cite{Gouanere} will show a discrete set of momenta at which a resonant scattering effect, appears. The resonant momenta of the electron beam are given by pk=161.748/kp_k=161.748/k MeV/c/c, k=1,2,3,...k=1,2,3,..., where only, the corresponding to k=2k=2, was within the range of Gouan\'ere et al. experiment. The extension of the experiment to other values of pkp_k, would show the existence of this phenomenon.
