Prolonging the lifetime of relativistic particles by self-accelerating Dirac wavepackets

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

We show that shaping the wavepackets of Dirac particles can alter fundamental relativistic effects such as length contraction and time dilation. For example, shaping decaying particles as self-accelerating Dirac wavepackets extends their lifetime.
