Semi-classical Electrodynamics: A Short Note
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
I have previously claimed the key to understanding the numerical value of the fine structure constant is near-field corrections which terminate integrals at low virtual photon energies, thus obverting an infrared divergence common to many QED calculations. I have since switched to a physics-based calculation of the near-field corrections, instead of the previously used educated guess. The relevant equations are presented here.
