Space - Time Events and Relativistic Particle Localization
نویسنده
چکیده
A relation expressing the covariant transformation properties of a relativistic position operator is derived. This relation differs from the one existing in the literature expressing manifest covariance by some factor ordering. The relation is derived in order for the localization of a particle to represent a space-time event. It is shown that there exists a conflict between this relation and the hermiticity of a positive energy position operator.

Localization of non-relativistic particles
This paper is a contribution to the problem of particle localization in non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics. Our main results will be (1) to formulate the problem of localization in terms of invariant subspaces of the Hilbert space, and (2) to show that the rigged Hilbert space incorporates particle localization in a natural manner.

متن کاملOn relativistic quantum mechanics in the rest- frame instant form of dynamics
A review is given of a new relativistic classical mechanics for N-particle systems compatible with relativistic bound states. It is formulated in global non-inertial frames in Minkowski space-time by means of parametrized Minkowski theories and then restricted to the intrinsic inertial rest frame of the isolated system. There is a complete control on the relativistic collective variables (Newto...
متن کاملUp to One-Hour Forecasting of Radiation Hazards from Solar Energetic Ion Events with Relativistic Electrons
The sudden and prompt occurrence of solar energetic particle (SEP) events poses a hazard to manned space activities and interferes with robotic space science missions. This study demonstrates the possibility of short-term forecasting of the appearance and intensity of solar ion events by means of relativistic, near light-speed electrons. A list of the most severe proton events measured by GOES-...

Using the parametrized relativistic particle we obtain the noncommutative Snyder space-time. In addition, we study the consistency conditions between the boundary conditions and the canonical gauges that give origin to noncommutative theories. Using these results we construct a first order action, in the reduced phase-space, for the Snyder particle with momenta fixed on the boundary. Pacs: 11.1...
متن کاملFractional Dynamics of Relativistic Particle
Fractional dynamics of relativistic particle is discussed. Derivatives of fractional orders with respect to proper time describe long-term memory effects that correspond to intrinsic dissipative processes. Relativistic particle subjected to a non-potential four-force is considered as a nonholonomic system. The nonholonomic constraint in fourdimensional space-time represents the relativistic inv...
