76 Chapter 3 The Dirac Field in terms of their action on the annihilation operators ap and bp for the Klein- Gordon particles and antiparticles) that give the following tranformations of the Klein-Gordon field: Po(t,x)P = lt, — T o(t,x)T = o(-4,%); Co(t,x)C = o* (t,x) Find the transformation properties of the components of the current J! = i(o*d"d — AHG*S) under P, C, and T. (c) Show that any Hermitian Lorentz-scalar local operator built from and their conjugates has CPT = +1. 3.8 Bound states. Two spin-1/2 particles can combine to a state of total spin either 0 or 1. The wavefunctions for these states are odd and even, respectively, under the interchange of the two spins. (a) Use this information to compute the quantum numbers under P and C of all electron-positron bound states with $, P, or D wavefunctions. (b) Since the electron-photon coupling is given by the Hamiltonian AH = fee cAyi", where j" is the electric current, electrodynamics is invariant to P and C if the components of the vector potential have the same P and C’ parity as the corresponding components of j. Show that this implies the following surprising fact: The spin-0 ground state of positronium can decay to 2 photons, but the spin-1 ground state must decay to 3 photons. Find the selection rules for the annihilation of higher positronium states, and for 1-photon transitions between positronium levels.
