Formalized procedure of transition to classical limit in application to the Dirac equation
Abstract
Classical model SDcl of the Dirac particle SD is constructed. SD is the dynamic system described by the Dirac equation. For investigation of SD and construction of SDcl one uses a new dynamic method: dynamic disquantization. This relativistic purely dynamic procedure does not use principles of quantum mechanics. The obtained classical analog SDcl is described by a system of ordinary differential equations, containing the quantum constant as a parameter. Dynamic equations for SDcl are determined by the Dirac equation uniquely. The dynamic system SDcl has ten degrees of freedom and cannot be a pointlike particle, because it has an internal structure. Internal degrees of freedom appears to be described nonrelativistically. One discusses interplay between the conventional axiomatic methods and the dynamical methods of the quantum systems investigation. In particular, one discusses the reasons, why the internal degrees of freedom of the Dirac particle and their nonrelativistic character were not discovered during eighty years.
