In a set of two papers, we propose to study an old-standing problem, namely the electromagnetic interaction for particles of arbitrary spin. Based on the assumption that light-cone helicity at tree level and Q = 0 should be conserved non-trivially by the electromagnetic interaction, we are able to derive all the natural electromagnetic moments for a pointlike particle of any spin. In this secon...

We analyze Niels Bohr's proposed two-slit interference experiment with highly charged particles which argues that the consistency of elementary quantum mechanics requires that the electromagnetic field must be quantized. In the experiment a particle's path through the slits is determined by measuring the Coulomb field that it produces at large distances; under these conditions the interference ...

WOLFGANG K. H. PANOFSKY Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Stanford University, Stanford, California 94309 ABSTRACT This paper reviews some key experiment,s of the past in which the same basic physical processes are attacked both through lepton-photon interactions and by using hadron machines as primary tools. Not surprisingly, it is conrludeh that the basic distinction between lepion-photon ph...

In the article the different kinds of radiations are considered Bremsstrahlung and magnito-bremsstrahlung Official physics considers, that the driving electric charge beams electromagnetic waves, both at positive, and at negative acceleration. The writer insists that the Bremsstrahlung is possible only, i.e. at negative acceleration of electric charge. Let's consider the elementary case, when t...

The performance of bi-periodic arrays of gold nano-particles for molecular sensing applications is studied using the Fourier Modal Method (FMM). We show that the electromagnetic coupling between the particles can be optimized to increase their sensitivity to a weak change of the shallow dielectric environment. Especially, arrays whose elementary cell consists of a dimer of two closely packed pa...

An elementary account on the chaoticity of galactic world-lines in an open universe is given. A new type of cosmic evolution by global metrical deformations, unpredicted by Einstein’s equations, is pointed out. Physical effects of this evolution are backscattering of electromagnetic fields and particle creation in quantum fields. We review in an untechnical way how global metrical deformations ...

The electromagnetic interaction of the hydrogen atom is used as an experimental device and the data prove that bound fields and radiation fields are different physical objects. A further analysis proves that there is no direct interaction between radiation fields and there is no self-interaction of fields of an elementary pointlike charge. Therefore, bound fields and radiation fields should be ...
