Screen observables in relativistic and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics

authored by

Abstract

Screen observables, which measure the arrival coordinates of free particles at a hyperplane containing a timelike direction, are defined by a covariance property with respect to an irreducible representation of the Poincare or Galilei group. For each representation with m the set of screen observables is constructed explicitly and a unique ideal screen observable of greatest intrinsic accuracy is singled out.
