High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The relativistic semi-classical approximation for a free massive particle is studied using the Wigner-Weyl formalism. A non-covariant Wigner function is proposed using the Newton-Wigner position operator. The perturbative solution for the time evolution is found. Causality is found to be perturbatively respected.
