Superluminal Speeds in Mezodynamics | Chapter 09 | Theory and Applications of Physical Science Vol. 2
In the framework of Fermi theory,
nonstationary β -decay is considered. In order to simplify the calculations,
the theory omits the accounting of antineutrino and neglects the presence of
spin in the particles. The electron is called the mezon. Specifically, the
non-stationary process of meson exchange between the neutron and the proton at
the final distance from it, which turns proton into a neutron as a result of
such exchange, is considered. The calculations are performed both in
Schrödinger representation and Heisenberg representation. Schrödinger presentation
shows that the meson resulting from the neutron emission can be absorbed by the
proton at the final distance from the emitter before the light needs to cover
this distance. This quantum effect with the superluminal transmission of
information is in dissonance with the classical theory, which does not allow
particles of finite mass to possess speeds even close enough to the speed of
light in vacuum. Calculations in Heisenberg representation of the existence of
superluminal signals do not allow. The non-equivalence of Heisenberg and
Schrödinger representations in non-stationary quantum mesodynamics, known in
electrodynamics, is stated. The preference is given to Schrödinger
representation with reference to an experiment that numerically confirms the presence
of superluminalsignals in electrodynamics.
