TL;DR
This paper offers a novel explanation for the Klein paradox by replacing pair production with virtual negative energy incidence, maintaining vacuum neutrality and total reflection in relativistic quantum mechanics.
Contribution
It introduces a new approach to resolving the Klein paradox using virtual negative energy incidence instead of pair production.
Findings
Reflection becomes total in the proposed model
Vacuum remains neutral under the new framework
The approach aligns with electrostatic and optical analogies
Abstract
We present a resolution of the Klein paradox within the framework of one-particle relativistic quantum mechanics. Not only reflection becomes total but the vacuum remains neutral as well. This is accomplished by replacing the pair production process with virtual negative energy "incidence" within the barrier in a similar manner to what is done with image charges in electrostatic and virtual sources in optics.
