World-line deviation and spinning particles
arXiv:gr-qc/0403055 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2004.02.059
Abstract
A set of world-line deviation equations is derived in the framework of Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon description of pseudo-classical spinning particles. They generalize the geodesic deviation equations. We examine the resulting equations for particles moving in the space-time of a plane gravitational wave.
