On the Zitterbewegung and light-like internal dynamics of the electron

This paper focuses on the understanding of the electron and its intrinsic properties. We analyze the Zitterbewegung motion, that gives information about the internal dynamics of the electron (with internal motion at the speed of light with an amplitude at Compton scale). This approach with field explains the origin of the spin and mass, while being compatible with quantum physics. This article is in the continuity of De Broglie and Einstein ideas to make quantum physics realistic (with real trajectories and physical waves) and to define a geometrical structure to the electron.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the understanding of the electron and its intrinsic properties. We analyze the Zitterbewegung motion, that gives information about the internal dynamics of the electron (with internal motion at the speed of light with an amplitude at Compton scale). This approach with field explains the origin of the spin and mass, while being compatible with quantum physics. This article is in the continuity of De Broglie and Einstein ideas to make quantum physics realistic (with real trajectories and physical waves) and to define a geometrical structure to the electron.
