Photon spin and its properties predicted from spinor quantum equations

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to derive the photon spin and to deduce its properties from a pair of spinor quantum equations for the photon. It is argued that the notion of spatial density for the photon spin in the quantum-mechanical sense is physically meaningless.
