Electron time, mass and zitter

چکیده
de Broglie’s original idea that the electron has an internal clock has recently received experimental confirmation by measuring the period of the clock in an electron channeling experiment. This result has been explained by a new model of the electron, called the zitter model because it incorporates Schroedinger’s qualitative zitterbewegung concept into a fully specified interacting particle model. The zitter electron is a lightlike charged particle with intrinsic spin that maintains it in a helical spacetime path, with curvature and frequency determined by the electron mass. Thus, electron mass is fully reduced to clock frequency in electron motion. This essay discusses details of the model and its implications. To discover a natural time scale we look to the dynamics of elementary particles. Louis de Broglie was the first to do that when, in his 1924 doctoral thesis, he proposed that the electron possesses an internal clock. As two pillars of quantum mechanics, he accepted Planck’s Law: E = ω (energy is frequency!) (1)

متن کاملApplication of Fluoro-Jade C in Acute and Chronic Neurodegeneration Models: Utilities and Staining Differences
Recent neuropathological studies have shown that Fluoro-Jade C (FJC), an anionic fluorescent dye, is a good marker of degenerating neurons. However, those studies have mostly examined acute rather than chronic models of neurodegeneration. We therefore compared FJC staining using the intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-injected rat as an acute model and the zitter rat as a chronic model, as...

In order to obtain parameters of exact AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors such as electron density, the wave function, band gap, polarization charge, effective mass and dielectric constant, the hydrostatic pressure and temperature effects a...
متن کاملMeson B fragmentation function with consideration of mass corrections
Study of B meson (meson with the bottom quark flavor) in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is of special importance so that the detector LHCb is devoted to investigate these types of mesons. For this reason, in this paper we will study the production process of this meson in a phenomenological approach using the experimental data from electron-positron annihilation. In this regards, we shall calculat...
