[General] Photon cycle rate in moving particle - faster or slower??

Wed Jun 22 23:52:47 PDT 2016

Hello Grahame,

   Some of the empirical evidence that is consistent with the relativistically-moving spin-1/2 charged photon model of the electron, that you asked fort, is indicated below. You are right that a lateral decrease in the size of an electron with increasing speed raises questions about relativity, which is fine. But facts are facts, and need explaining. Maybe we can make some progress here to further clarify these issues, as John W, Alexander, Martin, Vivian, Chip and yourself among others, have already contributed to.

1) The model explains the origin of the inertial mass m of the resting electron as due to the time rate of change of the momentum mc of the circulating photon having circulating energy Eo=mc^2 (other circling-photon models can also explain this), according to Newton’s 2nd law F=dp/dt = ma .

2) The model explains the origin of the inertial mass gamma m of a moving electron in the same way, as the time rate of change of the proposed circulating total electron momentum P=gamma mc of the helically moving spin-1/2 charged photon in my model, having the indicated increased frequency f=gamma mc^2/h and decreased wavelength lambda = h/(gamma mc)  This empirical “transverse" inertial mass gamma m of a particle works in relativistic kinematics (for example in circular particle accelerators) whether you call it inertial mass or not). The relativistic kinematics “longitudinal” inertial mass gamma^3 m of a linearly accelerated electron is also consistent with the model.

3) The model explains the underlying nature of the experimentally-based (and very useful) relativistic energy-momentum equation for a particle: E^2 = p^2 c^2 + m^2 c^4  , as the relation between the internal circulating momentum mc of a particle’s circulating charged photon, the external momentum p=gamma mv of the moving particle (composed of a circulating charged photon), and the total momentum P=E/c= gamma mc of the moving particle’s helically moving charged photon , where P is the vector sum of the transverse internal momentum mc and the longitudinal external momentum gamma mv of the particle given by the Pythagorean theorem (since the momenta mc and gamma mv are at right angles:  P^2 = p^2 + (mc)^2 .

4) The model gives a new derivation of the electron’s relativistic de Broglie wavelength Ldb= h/(gamma mv) ,  derived from the longitudinal component of the wave vector K of the helically-moving charged photon of momentum P= h/(gamma mc) = hbar K.

5) The model explains (at least partially) the very small size of the electron (less than 10^-18 m) measured in high energy electron scattering experiments at around 30GeV, since the radius of the helical trajectory of the spin-1/2 charged photon in a relativistic electron falls in the model as (hbar/2mc) x 1/gamma^2  with increasing electron speed v.

The above results from the model are all explained, with mathematical derivations, in my articles below. Other related articles are at https://santarosa.academia.edu/RichardGauthier .

Or is it just a supposition based on SR frame symmetry?

[I appreciate that this evidence relates to muons and you're talking about electrons - but if completely different principles apply in those two elementary particles I think we'll need an explanation for why - and some empirical evidence].

The energy lost by the Compton-scattered x-ray photon is gained by the recoiling electron. The internal wavelength of the circulating spin-1/2 charged photon composing the recoiling electron would decrease corresponding to the increased energy of the recoiling electron. The helically-moving charged  photon composing the recoiling electron would continue to make two full helical loops for each wavelength (as in a resting electron) but at a higher looping frequency, corresponding to the shorter wavelength distance along the helix for two helical loops..
