Fermion interactions with a Kaluza-Klein dyon

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5646972
The fermion dynamics in the background of a five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein dyon is studied. It is found that the hamiltonian is self-adjoint despite the singular nature of the origin, and the fermion scattering on the dyon in the lowest angular momentum j = 0 channel is a helicity flip process. The possibility for charge-exchange process in the non-Abelian Kaluza-Klein theories is discussed.
