Relativistic Quantum Mechanics question 1 question 1 (Deadline 2nd November 2012) (a) Starting from the Dirac equation

(i m) = 0 take its Hermitean conjugate , (recall that (AB ) = B A ) and show that the resulting equation involving cannot be reassembled in covariant form. Multiplying on the right by 0 show that one can obtain the manifestly covariant adjoint Dirac equation ) + m =0, i( = 0 is the adjoint spinor. [6 marks] where Dirac, show that the probability cur(b) By adding adjoint Dirac to is conserved. [2 marks] rent j = (c) Evaluate = j 0 for the Dirac equation, and show that 0. [2 marks]
