SUMMARY

The Dirac Equations are essential for understanding quantum field theory (QFT) and are prominently featured in M. D. Schwartz's textbook, "Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model" (2014). This resource provides a comprehensive explanation of the equations necessary for a solid grasp of particle physics. For those writing academic papers in physics, referencing established texts is crucial for accuracy and credibility.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with quantum field theory (QFT)
  • Understanding of the Dirac Equation and its significance in particle physics
  • Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics
  • Ability to interpret mathematical formulations in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Read M. D. Schwartz's "Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model" for detailed insights on the Dirac Equations
  • Explore additional textbooks on QFT for varied perspectives on the Dirac Equation
  • Research the historical context and development of the Dirac Equation in quantum mechanics
  • Study applications of the Dirac Equation in modern physics, including its implications in particle physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students in advanced physics courses, and researchers focusing on quantum field theory and particle physics will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
I am basically searching for a good source where Diracs Equasions resulting in negative energy are listed.
I am working on my physics paper and just realized that after explaining everything I did not add the equation. Now I am wondering where I can find a good source on them, so that I can add them.

It's in any textbook on QFT, e.g.,

M. D. Schwartz, Quantum field theory and the Standard
Model, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, New York
(2014).
