The Enigmatic Photon

Volume 3 of The Enigmatic Photon develops the theory and practical applications of the B ⁽³⁾ field. The opening chapters are based on the Dirac equation of a single fermion in a circularly-polarized electromagnetic field, an equation which defines the way in which B ⁽³⁾ interacts with matter. These chapters predict the theoretical possibility of nuclear magnetic resonance at infrared and visible frequencies. The third chapter considers the optical Aharonov-Bohm effect due to B ⁽³⁾ , and suggests a mechanism for action at a distance in electrodynamics. Subsequent chapters discuss the radiation theory of B ⁽³⁾ and relate it to the theory of fine photon mass. The final two chapters treat the theory of B ⁽³⁾ in cosmology and summarize future experimental developments. This book is a sequel to Volume 1, The Field B ⁽³⁾ , which presents the first systematic description of the fundamental magnetizing field of electromagnetic radiation and Volume 2, Non-Abelian Electrodynamics , which deals with the development of the theory of the Evans-Vigier field B ⁽³⁾ .

Audience: This book will be useful to researchers whose work involves nuclear magnetic resonance.
