Semiclassical limit of the Dirac equation and spin precession

Herbert Spohn

Published 1999-11-14Version 1

We study the Dirac equation with slowly varying external potentials. Using matrix-valued Wigner functions we prove that the electron follows with high precision the classical orbit and that the spin precesses according to the BMT equation with gyromagnetic ratio g=2.
