About the kinematics of spinning particles
Abstract
Inserting the correct Lorentz factor into the definition of the 4-velocity vmu for spinning particles entails new kinematical properties for v2. The well-known constraint (identically true for scalar particles, but entering also the Dirac theory, and assumed a priori in all spinning particle models) pmu vmu = m is here derived in a self-consistent way.
