QUASI-CLASSICAL THEORY OF THE SPINNING ELECTRON

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4111199
A generalized Hamilton-Jacobi theory for a classical spinning dipole is derived and it is shown that this classical theory can be put in a form almost identical with the Pauli spin theory. The theory is quantized by requiring that a classical wave function be continuous and singlevalued and that it satisfy the usual energy eigenvalue equation. In this manner the correct energy levels for a hydrogen atom in an external field are derived. The kernel is derived for the Pauli equation from this classical model, and the kernel for the quasi-classical equation was found. (auth)
