There are a number of reasons to think that the electron cannot truly be spinning. Given how small the electron is generally taken to be, it would have to rotate superluminally to have the right angular momentum and magnetic moment. Also,…

We show that the locally constant force necessary to get a stable hyperbolic motion regime for classical charged point particles, actually, is a combination of an applied external force and of the electromagnetic radiation reaction force.…

Spin is an intrinsically quantum property, characterized by angular momentum. A change in the spin state is equivalent to a change in the angular momentum or mechanical torque. This spin-induced torque has been invoked as the intrinsic…
The "natural" magntic moment of a particle of spin S is generally assumed to be that given by the Belinfante conjecture and has the value g=1/S for its gyromagnetic ratio. Thus, for the spin 1/2 electron we find the Dirac value $g_e=2$.…
Basis Light-front Quantization has been proposed as a nonperturbative framework for solving quantum field theory. We apply this approach to Quantum Electrodynamics and explicitly solve for the light-front wave function of a physical…
Two-loop self-energy corrections to the bound-electron $g$ factor are investigated theoretically to all orders in the nuclear binding strength parameter $Z\alpha$. The separation of divergences is performed by dimensional regularization,…

The bispinor wave function finds its fundamental application in the study of electrons, neutrinos and protons as particles bound by their own potentials. Classical electromagnetism and the Dirac electron theory appear to be natural…
In this work, the electromagnetic and gravitational form factors of a spin-$3/2$ particle, $\Delta$ resonance, are simultaneously calculated with the help of a relativistic covariant quark-diquark approach. The two kinds of form factors are…
For distances large relative to the electron Compton wavelength, the Maxwell and gravitational fields from a bound electron in its groundstate are essentially those from a rotating, charged, massive point particle. For distances small…
Photoinduced circular dichroism experiments in an oblique magnetic field allow measurements of Larmor precession frequencies, and so give a precise determination of the electron Lande g factor and its anisotropy in self-assembled InAs/GaAs…
