In the Standard Model, using quantum field theory it is conventional to use the helicity basis to simplify calculations (of cross sections, for example). In this basis, the spin is quantized along the axis in the direction of motion of the particle. ==Spinors== The two-component helicity eigenstates satisfy :: :where : are the Pauli matrices, : is the direction of the fermion momentum, : depending on whether spin is pointing in the same direction as or opposite. To say more about the state, we will use the generic form of fermion four-momentum: :: Then one can say the two helicity eigenstates are :: and :: These can be simplified by defining the z-axis such that the momentum direction is either parallel or anti-parallel, or rather: ::. In this situation the helicity eigenstates are for when the particle momentum is :: and for then for when momentum is :: and 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helicity basis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
