摘要
The spacetime symmetry group of a model of a relativistic spin 1/2 elementary particle, which satisfies Dirac's equation when quantized, is analysed. It is shown that this group, larger than the Poincare group, also contains spacetime dilations and local rotations. It has two Casimir operators, one is the spin and the other is the spin projection on the body frame. Its similarities with the standard model are discussed. If we consider this last spin observable as describing isospin, then, this Dirac particle represents a massive system of spin 1/2 and isospin 1/2. There are two possible irreducible representations of these kinds of particles, a colourless or a coloured one, where the coloured observable is also another spin contribution related to the zitterbewegung. It is the spin, with its twofold structure, the only intrinsic property of this Dirac elementary particle.
