ABSTRACT: The usual choice of an orthogonal set of four
plane-wave solutions of the free-particle Dirac equation does not lend itself
readily to direct and complete physical interpretation in the case of Dirac neutrino
particle. A different choice of solutions can be made which yields a direct
physical interpretation at all energies. Besides the separation of positive and
negative energy states there is a further separation of states for which the
spin is respectively parallel or antiparallel to the direction of the momentum
vector. This can be obtained from the Maxwell’s equation without charges and
current in the configuration. Scenery of our study is at
high temperature T where coexist
electron-positron pair and neutrino-antineutrino pair, (i.e., T≥1 MeV). Taking into consideration the possibility of
negative mass, we can describe the observed behavior of antimatter in response
to electromagnetic fields by assuming that the anti Dirac neutrino has a
negative mass, so a new causal symmetry can be obtained.
