Point-particle effective field theory III: relativistic fermions and the Dirac equation

Abstract We formulate point-particle effective field theory (PPEFT) for relativistic spin-half fermions interacting with a massive, charged finite-sized source using a first-quantized effective field theory for the heavy compact object and a second-quantized language for the lighter fermion with whi...
