Description/Abstract | The nonlocal interaction between electrons and electromagnetic fields is considered. It is shown that different contraction forms of interacting fields are equivalent to different nonlocal theories where nonlocality is connected to either the photon field or the electron field, or to both these fields simultaneously. The nonlocal theory where the electron carries nonlocality is studied in detail. The gauge invariance of this model is achieved by using the d-operation applying the perturbation theory. Primitive Feynman diagrams of the nonlocal theory are investigated and a restriction on the{open_quotes}size{close_quotes}{ell} of the electron is obtained. From low-energy experimental data from tests of local quantum electrodynamics it follows that{ell}{<=} 10{sup -15} cm. |
