A Deduction from Dirac Sea Model

TL;DR

This paper explores the Dirac sea model's physical reality by analyzing bound states of negative and positive energy particles, suggesting the existence of novel particles with neutrino-like features observable in meson decays.

Contribution

It proposes a new interpretation of Dirac sea particles forming neutral atoms with neutrino-like properties, predicting observable exotic particles in meson decay experiments.

Findings

Negative energy and positive energy particles can form bound states with neutrino-like features.

Such atoms could be observed in meson decay experiments as invisible particles.

The model predicts the existence of particles with specific decay signatures in current collider data.

Abstract

Whether the Dirac sea model is right is verifiable. Assuming the Dirac sea is a physical reality, we have one imagination that a negative energy particle(s) in the sea and a usual positive energy particle(s) will form a neutral atom. The features of the atom can be studied using the nonrelativistic reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, especially for a two body system. This work is dedicated to discuss the bound state of spin-0 and spin-$\frac{\displaystyle 1}{\displaystyle 2}$ constituents. The study shows that an atom consisting of a negative energy particle $(e^-$ or $hc)$ and a positive energy particle $(u\overline{d}$ or $hc)$ has some features of a neutrino, such as spin, lepton number and oscillation. One deduction is that if the atom is a real particle, an atom $X$ consisting of two negative energy particles and a nucleus with double charges exists in nature, which can be observed in Strangeonium, Charmonium and Bottomonium decays $[s\overline{s}]$, $[c\overline{c}]$ and $[b\overline{b}]\rightarrow X \pi^-\pi^- e^+e^+~+~hc$ with $X$ invisible at KLOE, CLEOc, BESIII, Belle and BaBar.
