Dirac Equation and Its

Application
Anh PHAM

1. Introduction

Klein-Gordon shortcomings

Continuity equation

Probability density

Solution

2. Dirac equation

We need

Or

Dirac Equation in covariant form

In which

3. Specific representation of
matrices
Let
Pauli spin matrices

Dirac basis

Weyl basis

4. Application

Probability density

Adjoint spinor

Dirac equation

Then

Probability density

Probability current

4.2 Particle at rest

4.5 Particle in motion

We can find respective eigenstates!

4.4 Charge conjugation

Particles satisfying this are photons and
neutral mesons.

4.5 Helicity

The projection of the spin along the

direction of motion:

Eigenvalue +1 or -1

4.6 Chirality
It means a particle object is not identical to
its mirror image.
Operator
