<br>
I think the mechanism for photon radiation from an electron is an overlap of a specific field configuration with an internal electron wave-function. 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.<br>
<br>
Regards, John.<br>

<div>Hello Andrew, John W and all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Andrew, thanks for the link. A Weyl fermion, though not the same as a spin-1/2 charged photon, could be a step in this direction, since a Weyl fermion is a massless chiral fermion. It also has not been detected as a separate fundamental particle.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> By the way, a new colleague Hans Montanus wrote to me recently “For all the photon models for the electron, always the question raises to me: how can photon be radiated off from an accelerating electron? 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?”</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Do you have any thoughts on these questions about radiation of a photon from an accelerated circling photon, and pair creation from a single non-circling photon?</div>
<div><br>

<div>Dear Richard,<br>
<br>
</div>
We have demonstrated experimentally that photons can exhibit fermionic as well as bosonic natures. 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:<br>

</span></div>
<br>
</div>
The Weyl Fermion, (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weyl_semimetal" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/<wbr>wiki/Weyl_semimetal</a>), as a charged, massless, particle, might be worth exploring in that context.
<br>
<br>
</div>
I don't have time to explore the concept myself right now; but, I would be interested in your comments, if you (or others) do get the opportunity to look at it.<br>
