SO(3) Algebra and the Conservation of Helicity in the First Order Aharonov-Bohm Scattering Amplitude

A. Albeed, M. S. Shikakhwa

For a Dirac particle in an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) potential, it is shown that the spin interaction (SI) operator which governs the transitions in the spin sector of the first order S-matrix closes the SO(3) algebra with other two operators in the spin space of the particle. Expressing the helicity operators of the incident and scattered particles in terms of these new generators, conservation of helicity in the transition is established algebraically as a consequence of this algebra at the operator level in a simple and transparent manner. The case of a non-relativistic spin-1/2 particle is also discussed along similar lines.

Partial wave analysis of the first order Born amplitude of a Dirac particle in an Aharonov-Bohm potential

M. S. Shikakhwa, Namik Kemal Pak

A partial wave analysis using the basis of the total angular momentum operator ${J}_{3}$ is carried out for the first order Born amplitude of a Dirac particle in an Aharonov-Bohm potential. It is demonstrated that the s partial wave contributes to the scattering amplitude in contrast with the case with scalar nonrelativistic particles. We suggest that this explains the fact that the first order Born amplitude of a Dirac particle coincides with the exact amplitude expanded to the same order, where it does not for a scalar particle. An interesting algebra involving the Dirac velocity operator and the angular observables is discovered and its consequences are exploited.

The Born Scattering Amplitude of a Non-relativistic Spin One-half particle in an Aharonov-Bohm Potentia

Yousef Romia, Mohammad Shikakhwa

The Born scattering amplitude of a non-relativistic spin one-half particle in an Aharonov-Bohm potential is calculated up to second order. It is demonstrated that perturbation theory works well for this model, in contrast with the case of scalar particles, thanks to the spin-magnetic moment interaction term. The first order amplitude is shown to coincide with the exact amplitude when expanded to the same order; the second order amplitude is finite and null. The polarized scattering cross section is found to be different from the unpolarized one only if the incident particle has a spin component perpendicular to the flux tube.
