Abstract

In the de Broglie-Bohm quantum theory, particles describe trajectories determined by the flux associated with their wave function. These trajectories are studied here for relativistic spin-one-half particles.Based in explicit numerical calculations for the case of a massless particle in dimension three space-time, it is shown that if the wave function is an eigenfunction of the total angular momentum, the trajectories begin as circles of slowly increasing radius until a transition time at which they tend to follow straight lines. Arrival times at some detector, as well as their probability distribution are calculated, too. The chosen energy and momentum parameters are of the orders of magnitude met in graphene's physics.
