Negative energy effects in processes involving bound particles: finite nuclear size effects

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-07-18 v1 Atomic Physics

Abstract

Probability of finding negative energy states in a hydrogen atom is decreased when the nucleus is extended. Reduced electron Compton wavelength is the characteristic size of the region around the nucleus where negative energy contributions to the wave function are sizeable.
