TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel model of a zero rest mass charged particle, combining electromagnetic wave behavior and particle dynamics, to explain double slit interference through self-interference and radiation reabsorption.

Contribution

It introduces a new theoretical framework for IED particles that explains interference phenomena via self-interference and radiation reabsorption mechanisms.

Findings

Demonstrates self-interference of a single IED particle in double slit experiments.

Shows the particle's trajectory is influenced by reflected radiation fields.

Provides formal solutions based on first principles for wave-matter interaction.

Abstract

It is by the long established fact in experiment and theory that electromagnetic waves, here as one component of an IED particle, passing a double slit will undergo self inference each, producing at a detector plane fringed intensities. The wave generating point charge of a zero rest mass, as the other component of the particle, is maintained a constant energy and speed by a repeated radiation reabsorption/reemission scheme, and in turn steered in direction in its linear motion by the reflected radiation field, and will thereby travel to the detector along (one of) the optical path(s) of the waves leading to a bright interference fringe. We elucidate the process formally based on first principles solutions for the IED particle and known principles for wave-matter interaction.
