Abstract

Physics - High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
J.Math.Phys.40:6245-6253,1999 A method is presented for deriving the nonrelativistic quantum hamiltonian of a free massive fermion from the relativistic lagrangian of the Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. It permits the extraction of terms at arbitrary order in a Foldy-Wouthuysen expansion in inverse powers of the mass. The quantum particle hamiltonian is obtained and its nonrelativistic limit is given explicitly to third order.
