COVARIANT DESCRIPTION OF SPIN

The most general, finite, proper Lorentz transformation is generated in terms of an infinitesimal transformation. This generator is interpreted as a relativistic spin operator which is capable of describing in a relativistically covariant way the spin and electromagnetic properties of particles with spin 1/2 and 1 and finite mass. Extensions of the method to particles with vanishing rest mass are indicated. (auth)
