    I am not sure if the following paper is where I have read about it but it is helping me recall alright. I think it had to do with single-photon pair production.

    Nice paper; I can see how you might think of curling a photon around a nucleon.

    They are quanta in the electromagnetic field. This is a 3 year old thread which you've bumped so I'm going to close it. If anyone wants to continue the discussion please start a new thread.
