DiracSpinorNormalization
is an option for SpinorChainEvaluate
, DiracSimplify
and other functions. It specifies the normalization of the spinor inner products \bar{u}(p) u(p) and \bar{v}(p) v(p). Following values are supported:
"Relativistic"
- this is the standard value corresponding to \bar{u}(p) u(p) = 2 m, \bar{v}(p) v(p) = - 2 m.
"Rest"
- this sets \bar{u}(p) u(p) = 1, \bar{v}(p) v(p) = - 1.
"Nonrelativistic"
- this sets \bar{u}(p) u(p) = \frac{m}{p^0}, \bar{v}(p) v(p) = - \frac{m}{p^0}.
