Quantum states of a neutral massive fermion with an anomalous magnetic moment in an Aharonov-Casher field

The planar nonrelativistic quantum dynamics of a neutral massive fermion with an anomalous magnetic moment (AMM) in the electric field of infinitely long and thin thread with a charge density distributed uniformly along it (an Aharonov-Casher field) is examined. The relevant Hamiltonian is singular and requires additional specification of a one-parameter self-adjoint extension, which can be given in terms of physically acceptable boundary conditions. We find all possible self-adjoint Hamiltonians with an Aharonov-Casher field (ACF) by constructing the corresponding Hilbert space of square-integrable functions, including the r = 0 region, for all their Hamiltonians. We determine the most relevant physical quantities, such as energy spectrum and wave functions and discuss their correspondence with those obtained by the physical regularization procedure. We show that energy levels of bound states are simple poles of the scattering amplitude. It is shown that the scattering amplitudes and cross-sections depend essentially on the initial-state spin of fermions.
