Title: On the hydrino state of the relativistic hydrogen atom
(Submitted on 27 Jul 2005 (v1), last revised 5 Aug 2005 (this version, v2))
Abstract: The Klein-Gordon equation of the hydrogen atom has a low-lying eigenstate, called hydrino state, with square integrable wavefunction. The corresponding spinor solution of Dirac's equation is not square integrable. For this reason the hydrino state has been rejected in the early days of quantum mechanics as being unphysical. Maybe it is time to change opinion.
