Popis: We propose a novel formulation for a manifestly Lorentz-covariant spinor wave-packet basis. The traditional definition of the spinor wave packet is problematic due to its unavoidable mixing with other wave packets under Lorentz transformations. Our approach resolves this inherent mixing issue. The wave packet we develop constitutes a complete set, enabling the expansion of a free spinor field while maintaining Lorentz covariance. Additionally, we present a Lorentz-invariant expression for zero-point energy.
