Popis: The wave function of the Dirac particles in the longitudinal electric field running with the velocity of light is investigated, and the condition of particle capture by this field is presented. The Dirac particles with mass m0 and charge e that were previously stationary are captured by a repulsive field of strength E if the longitudinal field extension exceeds l = m0c2/eE. The captured Dirac particles concentrate, like classical particles, at the distance l from the forefront of the running field, but unlike classical particles, the nth part of the Dirac particles is not captured by the field, where n = exp(−l/2λ0) and λ0 is the Compton wavelength of the particle.
