Dirac theory [di′rak ′thē·ə·rē]

(quantum mechanics)

Theory of the electron based on the Dirac equation, which accounts for its spin angular momentum and gives its magnetic moment and its behavior in an electromagnetic field (except for higher-order corrections). Also known as Dirac electron theory.
