Zusammenfassung: | The problem of a relativistic spinning particle interacting with a quantized electromagnetic plane wave is treated by employing path integral methods and introducing the notion of a coherent state action. The dynamics of the particle spin is described using the supersymmetric action proposed recently by Alexandrou et al. in the so-called global representation. It is shown that to obtain the relative causal Green function, two fermionic identities, related directly to the classical equations of motion, have to be incorporated. The Green function, as constructed, allows us to extract in a natural way the expressions of the corresponding energy spectrum and wave functions. |
