LAGRANGIAN FORMALISM FOR A CLASSICAL RELATIVISTIC PARTICLE ENDOWED WITH INTERNAL STRUCTURE

The problem of the classical motion of a relativistic particle is treated with classical mechanics in variatinual form; a single particle traveling in an external field along a definite curved line in space-time is assigned a Lagrang ian and internal variables to express its proper rotation. General conservation equations are derived and applied to the case of the relativistic spinning particle moving classically in an electromagnetic field. Equations are also derived for the precession velocity of the spin in an electromagnetic field. (D.L.C.)
