The mass of the muon
Description
It is shown that a classical relativistic charged particle has an anomalous magnetic moment g = 4α/3. If such a 'dressed' particle with its mass m, charge e, and anomalous magnetic moment g is quantized by a generalized Dirac equation, then the wave equation predicts a second mass msub(μ) = msub(e)(3/2α + 1). It is suggested that a magnetic portion of the self-energy is quantized. (Auth.)
