OSTI ID:6613684
The authors have shown previously that a measurement theory can be constructed for free fermions that permit the measurement of single fermion quantum numbers, using two particle states representing a fermion and antifermion localized at points separated by a light-like interval. These results are extended to a class of interacting fermion fields, with particular emphasis on the implications of the light-cone algebra of bilocals formed from these fields. The creation of these states from the vacuum is described using bilocal current operators formed from the interacting fermion fields. The commutation rules are derived for the bilocal currents, and their light-cone limit is discussed. The localized charge operator is defined and it is shown that if the light-cone algebra of Gell-Mann and Fritzsch is the strong operator limit of the exact algebra of commutators, the measurement of the charge of a single localized quark is possible.
