Well, I was searching all the day long, but didn't find anything about
it. So this is my question:
commonly the Compton wavelength is interpreted as the length at which
quantum field theory is relevant, and more accurately, the length at
which particles-antiparticles creates spontaneously.
So as far as I understand, there should be some way to derive the
Compton wavelength from the uncertainty relation (Heisenberg's one,
not the empric energy-time relation) for any massive particle.
I think that this can be done by giving some relation between energy
and momentum of a particle and then expressing some "energy
uncertainty", but I like to know if this is really possible, and in
which way it can be done. Rigourously or not, it does not matter to
me.
If you know any book that does it, or you can write there, it would be
really great.
Thank you all
Thomas
