Thomas precession angle and spinor algebra
We present an alternative derivation of the Thamos precession angle. Using Pauli matrices, the finite precession angle can be computed exactly. We also discuss a new physical interpretation of the precession angle. Email address: [email protected] Email address: [email protected]
متن کاملGravitational Thomas Precession -a Gravitomagnetic Effect ?
Gravitational Thomas Precession ( GTP ) is the name given to the Thomas Precession when the acceleration is caused by a gravitational force field. In continuation of our discussion on the idea of a GTP, in this note by way of considering the motion of a planet around the Sun, the GTP is shown to be a gravitomagnetic effect that a planet might experience while moving through a gravitational fiel...
متن کاملThe minimum area, the flux tube, and Thomas precession
Quark confinement in Buchmüller’s picture of a rotating flux tube is reconsidered in the context of a minimum area evaluation of the Wilson loop. The question is asked whether resulting spin independent dynamics are consistent with Thomas precessional spin dependence leading from electric confinement. The answer appears to be in the negative; self-consistency of the picture found in the literat...
متن کامل0 Thomas Precession, Berry potential and the Meron.
We begin with a prior observation by one of us that Thomas precession in the nonrelativistic limit of the Dirac equation may be attributed to a nonabelian Berry vector potential. We ask what object produces the nonabelian potential in parameter space, in the same sense that the abelian vector potential arising in the adiabatic transport of a nondegenerate level is produced by a monopole, (cente...
متن کاملIs the Thomas precession a source of SR power ?
The structural composition and the properties of the first quantum spin-orientation–dependent correction to synchrotron radiation power are discussed. On the basis of spin mass renormalization it is shown that, in the conventional sense, the Thomas precession is not a source of relativistic radiation. This conclusion is in agreement with well-known statements on the spin dependence of mass and ...
