Title: ELEMENTARY RELATIVISTIC WAVE MECHANICS OF SPIN 0 AND SPIN 1/2 PARTICLES

Abstract

A unified picture of the relativistic single particle wave mechanics for both the spin 0 boson and the spin 1/2 h fermion is presented. The single particle equations discussed are the Klein-Gordon equation for spin 0, and the Dirac equation for spin 1/2 h. The wave mechanics of these particles is discussed. The field theoretic interpretation, in which the wave equations give the equations of motion for field operators, is connected with the particle interpretation. (M.H.R.)
