Pseudoclassical and quantum theory of the D=2n dimensional relativistic spinning particle with anomalous "magnetic" moment in the external Yang-Mills field
Abstract
The pseudoclassical hamiltonian and action of the D=2n dimensional Dirac particle with anomalous magnetic moment interacting with the external Yang-Mills field are found. The Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation of motion for the Pauli-Lubanski vector is deduced. The canonical quantization of D=2n dimensional Dirac spinning particle with anomalous magnetic moment in the external Yang-Mills field is carried out in the gauge which allows to describe simultaneously particles and antiparticles (massive and massless) already at the classical level. Pseudoclassical Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is used to obtain canonical (Newton-Wigner) coordinates and in terms of these variables the theory is quantized.
