Superluminal Quantum Models of the Electron and the Photon Richard Gauthier www.superluminalquantum.org American Physical Society Annual Meeting Dallas, April 23, 2006 Session H12: New Directions in Particle Theory
Introduction • 1. Superluminal quantum model of the photon— Unchargedsuperluminal quantum moves in an open helical trajectory of radius . • 2. Superluminal quantum model of the electron— Chargedsuperluminal quantum moves in a closed double-looped helical trajectory with equal to one Compton wavelength . • 3. Zitterbewegung (Dirac equation electron’s “jittery motion”) and the superluminal quantum model of the electron

Two views of the superluminal quantum model of the electron The small circle is the axis of the double-looped helical trajectory. The maximum speed of superluminal quantum along its trajectory is 2.515c .
Dirac equation’s Zitterbewegung(“jittery motion”) properties of the superluminal quantum model of the electron 1. Superluminal quantum circulates with a longitudinal component of velocity equal to the speed of light c (The eigenvalue of the Dirac Zitterbewegung solution). 2. Superluminal quantum model of the electron has internal Zitterbewegung angular frequency: 3. Superluminal model of the electron has Zitterbewegung amplitude: Superluminal quantum model of electron:
Other Dirac equation properties of the superluminal quantum model of the electron 4. Spin of superluminal quantum model of electron 5. Magnetic moment of superluminal quantum model of electron 6.

Conclusions • The superluminal quantum models of the electron and the photon are visualizable quantum models containing many quantitative properties of the electron and the photon. • The superluminal quantum model of the electron can be tested by projecting left and right-handed gamma photons on electrons and comparing scattering rates. (Different scattering rates – model supported).
