Abstract: | By solving the relativistic Hamilton-Jacobi equation of one electron in classical, circularly polarized, electromagnetic radiation, it is shown that the orbital electronic angular momentum is induced and governed entirely by the novel longitudinal vacuum fieldB(3). The presence of this field in the vacuum is detectible easily in principle by measuring its characteristicsquare root power density dependence using megawatt microwave pulses to magnetize an electron plasma set up in an inert gas such as helium. |
