Abstract
Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. B, Relativity, classical and statistical physics (ISSN 1124-1888), V117, N8, pp. 841-848. http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=14605394 The gyromagnetic ratio g of an electron is calculated by taking the non-relativistic limit of a newly proposed extension of the Dirac Hamiltonian coupled to a magnetic field. It is observed that the calculated g is greater than 2; the Dirac theory had predicted that g = 2 in sharp contradiction with accurate experimental observations. The additional quantity (g - 2)/2 d (1.6 x 10-3) is shown here to be due to an extra term which appears in the reduced Hamiltonian, as a consequence of the modification of the rest energy. No divergences are encountered in the calculations described.
