    Lienard-wichert potentials

    Homework Statement I want to calculate the lienard-wichert vector potential, based on the retarded potential expression given in Heald-Marion (classical electromagnetic radiation). Homework Equations I get: A=v\Phi, where \Phi is the lienard-wichert scalar potential and v is the charge...

    What are mass eigenstates and how do they relate to quarks and neutrinos?

    And what happens with neutrinos? they aren't colored, so is there an operator for flavor and another one for mass or propagation, which I'm guessing would be the free particle hamiltonian??

    What are mass eigenstates and how do they relate to quarks and neutrinos?

    Thanks a lot! So, there is an observable operator corresponding to the weak interaction (or flavor mix) and another one corresponding to the strong interaction (colour change) and the eigenstates of these operators are mixed to form mass (or propagation) eigenstates?? is this correct?

    What are mass eigenstates and how do they relate to quarks and neutrinos?

    Hello, I have a couple of questions that have been confusing me for a while: I read that quarks propagate as mass eigenstates, and that these are mixtures of the flavo eigenstates (superposition of the wave functions??), does this mean that baryons are the mass eigenstates of quarks? or does it...
