[General] A composite electron?

[Martin Rivas]

Dear Richard and all,

Concerning the idea of an elementary particle with two separate centers, the
center of mass and the center of charge, I suggest the reading of the
Preamble of my lecture notes

 

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/299636714_Kinematical_Theory_of_Ele
mentary_Spinning_Particles_Lecture_Notes

 

where we give different kinds of arguments leading to this possibility. It
is important for this possibility the spin dynamical analysis of a particle
with two centers. The main conclusion is that a particle with two centers,
the center of charge has to be moving at the speed of light and therefore
the angular momentum is not quantized. It just has to have a unique value.

 

Best regards

Hello Andrew and all,

 

  I communicated with David Hestenes three years ago about his zitter
electron model, and about the fact that his helical zitter electron model
(with helical radius hbar/2mc = Lcompton/4pi gives only a half Bohr Magneton
in the classical calculation of magnetic moment. He replied:

 

"You have given the standard classical calculation, which is off by a factor
of 2. But note that classical physics assumes a constant charge to mass
ratio. The zitter model requires separation of the center of charge from the
center of mass, as discussed, for example, by Rivas
http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.3253 "

 

I have also communicated with Martin Rivas about his
separation-of-mass-and-charge electron model. I am copying this e-mail to
both of them. Their comments are welcome.

 

   Richard

Dear Richard and Albrecht,

Richard has expressed doubts about Albrecht's 2-body electron and Albrecht
probably has reservations about Richard's charged photons.

I just read a paper ("The dynamical equation of the spinning electron," J.
Phys. A, 36, 4703, (2003), and also LANL ArXiv:physis/0112005, along.with
some background papers) that Richard has referenced in his: The Dirac
Equation and the Superluminal Electron Model
(https://richardgauthier.academia.edu/research#papers). I found a concept
with which I was previously unfamiliar: the centers of mass and charge being
different. If this interesting concept is valid; then it might be possible
that the two centers are the 'objects' that Albrecht has proposed for his
composite electron. It might also apply to the charged photon.

Has anyone any comments on this concept (or n the author of the paper:
Martin Rivas)?
