Summary

The Foldy-Wouthuysen (F.W.) transformation for zeromass particles of spin s is constructed by making use of a set of rotations in ordinary space having formally the desired effect.

Riassunto

Facendo uso di un gruppo di rotazioni nello spazio ordinario, che hanno formalmente l’efletto desiderato, si costruisce la trasformazione di Foldy-Wouthuysen (F.W.) per particelle con massa nulla e spins.
