On quantum spreading of a localized stationary flow of high energy particles

Abstract

The study addresses the quantum spreading of a localized stationary flow of high energy particles. Results demonstrate that as particle energy increases, the spreading speed of the particle wave packet diminishes rapidly. Concurrently, increasing the energies stabilizes the initially localized packet, preserving its transverse form in a vacuum over extended distances. This allows substantial simplifications when using various approximate methods to calculate the wave function in an external field.
