Electromagnetic angular momentum of the electron: one-loop studies

Bogdan Damski

Published 2019-08-16Version 1

We study angular momentum of the electron stored in its electric and magnetic fields. We use for this purpose quantum electrodynamics in the covariant gauge. We show that a finite one-loop result for such angular momentum can be obtained without invoking any renormalization procedure. We compare it to the classical estimation relying on a short-distance cutoff.
