Spin transport, spin diffusion and Bloch equations in electron storage rings

Abstract

We show how, beginning with the Fokker--Planck equation for electrons emitting synchrotron radiation in a storage ring, the corresponding equation for spin motion can be constructed. This is an equation of the Bloch type for the polarisation density.
