The problem of the precession of the "spin" of a particle moving in a homogeneous electromagnetic fielda problem which has recently acquired considerable experimental interesthas already been investigated for spin -, ' particles in some particular cases. ' In the literature the results were derived by explicit use of the Dirac equation, with the occasional inclusion of a Pauli term to account for an anomalous magnetic moment. On the other hand, following a remark of Bloch' in connection with the nonrelativistic case,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
