What is a free electron, i.e. as used in an x-ray tube?

Good question!

Live - all the chemistry that forms/carries it - happens between the electron and the proton (inside nuclei). So we stay in between.

Physically a free electron behaves like a fat photon with a locked in wave that is responsible for its internal charge coupling - hence mass.

As in general relativity you can always find math to explain it differently, but this will not change the three only observable of an electron. It's mass, magnetic moment and the electron g-factor. Charge is an attribute=axiom. But all factors are connected and not fully independent.

But if an electron can be free is questionable as everywhere, there is mass and most mass has a magnetic moment, hence there will be interaction.

Hi,

No the electron has no stable strong force radius.

You can only measure the electron g-factor, where as you can get it from
a metric transformation from the proton strong force equation.

Physics will change. More radically as some will like.
