QUANTIZATION PROCESS FOR MASSLESS PARTICLES

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D

The quantization of a recently propossd theory for particles of arbitrary spin and zero mass is given. An interesting result is that there is a connection between the spin and the statistics of the particles. It is found that the spinor components of a boson/fermion field with integral/half-integral spin commute/anticommute off of the light cone whereas the spinor components of a boson/fermion field with half-integral/ integral spin do not. As in the unquantized theory, the two-component neutrino and the photon are special cases. (auth)
