4.6    ABOUT FEYNMAN EXPERIMENT        

Feynman’s experiment uses a double slit separated by a distance about the "wave-length" of the particles that can be photons or electrons. Interference patterns of the particles are observed. The peculiarity of the experiment is that it is designed for the emission of individual particles at a time.

Feynman experiment fails in the assumption that individual particles are emitted at a time.

For both electrons and photons a process that decreases the intensity of the beams until discrete events are observed is used. It is currently assumed that this can only happen with individual particles.

It is considered for example that the number of electrons emitted is controlled by controlling the temperature of the heated cathode filament.

But these processes do not guarantee the emission of individual particles.

It is proposed here that in Feynman experiment actually bursts of some parallel and short trains of particles are emitted at a time and the same phenomena as the diffraction of photons and electrons happen in the same way as described in Sections 4.2 and 4.5.

This possibility has not been considered before just because the concept of trains of particles didn't exist until now.

NOTE:

It must be noted that with the concept of trains of photons the two slit experiment is equivalent to an experiment with one slit of about a "wave-length" wide where the particles interact with the borders.

NOTE:

Lighting the double slit experiment the diffraction pattern disappear because the photons collide with the trains going to the slit braking their structure and the particles behaves as isolated individual ones.

    The experiment could be improved. Mobile PIN diodes detectors before and after the slits could precisely detect the number of photons present in each discrete event. The experiment would be done first without the diodes and repeated after moving the diodes to the slits.
