[General] charged photons

[Richard Gauthier]

Hi John,
   Thanks for your detailed reply to Hans’ question about photon radiation from an electron, which I am copying to Hans in this reply. I hope you will copy the updated version of your paper to him when you send it to this group. 
       with best wishes,
           Richard

The electron wave-function contains both mass-like and field-like components. If one overlaps this with a specific field configuration - equal and perpendicular (but static) electric and magnetic fields, the resultant cancels the mass like terms and the result is a copy of the original wave-function, but at lower energy, plus is a PROPAGATING pure field part of the resultant. the propagating part is quantised if the emitting charge is quantised (which it usually is).  The reverse process is also possible - propagating field converted to localised energy. That is the internal electron wave-function acts as a generator or absorber of photons. This process is described, though not very well, in my first SPIE paper. There is also a (much better explained) version nearly ready to submit. Will copy this to the group when I send it off.

If the electron is a circling (or double circling in the toroidal model) photon, then it rather is a photon radiated off from an accelerating (the circling photon as a whole) photon. Similarly, pair creation would mean two circling photons coming of from a single (usual, non circling) photon. Do you know if there are models for such processes?”

The charged-photon model, as a transient during the transition between photon and lepton pair, can be supported theoretically as well. It may be possible to use additional concepts to support your model:
