As a result, the particle-antiparticle quantum number appears naturally and the Dirac particle has five quantum numbers instead of four. An anti-symmetry (different from the conventional symmetry) of the Dirac Hamiltonian and a dual symmetry of its eigenfunctions are explored. The $\hatκ$ operator of the Dirac equation in central potentials is found to be the analog of the helicity operator of the free particle--the alignment of the spin along the angular momentum.RevTeX4, 5 pages; Part of the results was presented on the 12th National Conference on Nuclear Physics of China in April 2004High Energy Physics - TheoryHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
