实验和对应原理迫使相对论性量子理论修正吗?
Do experiment and the correspondence principle oblige revision of relativistic quantum theory?
摘要:
最近由费米实验室MINOS合作收集的初步数据表明,有95%的置信度,μ子中微子的质量不同于它的反中微子伙伴,这与根深蒂固的相对论性量子理论概念相矛盾,即自由反粒子是一种负能量的自由粒子,被迫在时间中向后旅行。此外,最近从μ子氢获得的质子电荷半径值与以前从电子氢获得的质子电荷半径值之间约有5个标准差的差异,这对计算实际测量的效应的主要相对论QED贡献产生了怀疑(例如,兰姆位移):这些QED贡献在μ子氢中比在电子氢中更少地支配质子电荷半径贡献。相对论性量子理论的负能量“自由粒子”是克莱因-戈登方程和狄拉克方程的著名特征,它们也被证明具有许多其他非物理特征。相对论性粒子的对应原理与这两个方程不相容,它没有产生非物理的特征,并且只意味着自由粒子的正能量,这就消除了反粒子的根深蒂固的概念以及CPT定理的基础。因此,这一原理要求反粒子产生于电荷共轭(或更一般的CP)不变性,其已知的破坏自然会产生粒子和反粒子之间的质量分裂,与MINOS的初步数据一致。这也要求对相对论QED进行改进,这与质子电荷半径结果对QED的质疑是一致的,并意味着QED是非定域的,即没有哈密顿密度。
英文摘要:
Recent preliminary data gathered by the Fermilab MINOS Collaboration suggest with 95% confidence that the mass of the muon neutrino differs from that of its antineutrino partner, which contradicts the entrenched relativistic quantum theory notion that a free antiparticle is a negative-energy free particle compelled to travel backwards in time. Also a discrepancy of about five standard deviations in the value of the proton charge radius recently obtained from muonic hydrogen versus that previously obtained from electronic hydrogen casts doubt on the calculation of the dominant relativistic QED contributions to the effects that are actually measured (e.g., the Lamb shift): these QED contributions dominate proton charge radius contributions less in muonic hydrogen than in electronic hydrogen. The negative-energy "free particles" of entrenched relativistic quantum theory are well-known features of the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, which are shown to have many other unphysical features as well. The correspondence principle for relativistic particles is incompatible with these two equations, produces no unphysical features and implies only positive energies for free particles, which eliminates the very basis of the entrenched notion of antiparticles, as well as of the CPT theorem. This principle thus requires antiparticles to arise from charge conjugation (or more generally CP) invariance, whose known breaking is naturally expected to produce mass splitting between particle and antiparticle, in consonance with the preliminary MINOS data. It also requires revamping of relativistic QED, which is in accord with the doubt cast on it by the proton charge radius results, and implies that QED is nonlocal, i.e. has no Hamiltonian density.
