ELECTRON SELF-FIELD INTERACTION AND INTERNAL RESONANCE

Abstract: Recent proposals that an electron might contain an ‘imprisoned’ photon in its field system suggest a wave resonance which allows the QED determination of the electron g-factor to be used to establish the precise value of the fine structure constant, given its approximate value as 1/137. The value of α^-1 is found to be 137.03599, in precise accord with its measured value.
