Non-Relativistic Approximation of the Dirac Equation for Slow Fermions in Static Metric Spacetimes
arXiv:1406.2484 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.90.045040
Abstract
We analyse the non-relativistic approximation of the Dirac equation for slow fermions moving in spacetimes with a static metric, caused by the weak gravitational field of the Earth and a chameleon field, and derive the most general effective gravitational potential, induced by a static metric of spacetime. The derivation of the non-relativistic Hamilton operator of the Dirac equation is carried out by using a standard Foldy-Wouthuysen (SFW) transformation. We discuss the chameleon field as source of a torsion field and torsion-matter interactions.
