In the mode expansion of a Dirac field, is the fermionic annihilation operator for a particle of four-momentum and spin angular momentum label , while is the fermionic creation operator for the corresponding antiparticle. The Dirac spinor is the positive-frequency particle wavefunction and is the negative-frequency antiparticle wavefunction; they solve and , respectively.
