Hello. I would like to ask something that will help me understand a little better how we work with Dirac spinors' inputs...
I know that the dirac equation has 4 independent solutions, and for motionless particles, the (spinor) solutions are:
u_{+}=(1,0,0,0)^{T} electron +1/2
u_{-}=(0,1,0,0)^{T} electron -1/2
v_{+}=(0,0,1,0)^{T} positron +1/2
v_{-}=(0,0,0,1)^{T} positron -1/2
Now suppose that I write a solution as:
Ψ=(1,0,0,1)^{Τ}
Does that mean that I'm having 2 particles (one positron and one electron) involved?
