Explicitly covariant analytical expressions for transitional currents of spin-(1/2) particles

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We show that bispinor bilinear forms uα(p, s)¯uΒ(p′, s′), uα(p, s)¯vΒ(p′, s′), vα(p, s)¯uΒ(p′, s′), and vα(p, s)¯vΒ (p′, s′) can be expressed up to a phase factor as explicitly covariant foldings of the four-vectors,p, p′ (momenta) ands, s′ (polarizations) with the Dirac gamma-matrices. Using these expressions a complete list of the analytical expressions for the transitional currents of spin-(l /2) particles is derived.
