  • 1. Department of Physics, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 2N2 (Canada)

Description

The equations of motion for a massive spin-3/2 Rarita-Schwinger field in a finite-range, central, Lorentz scalar potential are developed. It is shown that the resulting density may not be everywhere positive definite. (author)
