Dirac Spinor

In quantum field theory, the Dirac spinor is the bispinor in the plane-wave solution

of the free Dirac equation,

where (in the units )

is a relativistic spin-1/2 field,
is the Dirac spinor related to a plane-wave with wave-vector ,
,
is the four-wave-vector of the plane wave, where is arbitrary,
are the four-coordinates in a given inertial frame of reference.

The Dirac spinor for the positive-frequency solution can be written as


\omega_\vec{p} =
\begin{bmatrix}
\phi \\ \frac{\vec{\sigma}\vec{p}}{E_{\vec{p}} + m} \phi
\end{bmatrix} \;,

where

is an arbitrary two-spinor,
are the Pauli matrices,
is the positive square root
