Inertia of Intrinsic Spin
arXiv:quant-ph/0508182 · doi:10.1016/j.physb.2006.05.207
Abstract
The state of a particle in space and time is characterized by its mass and spin, which therefore determine the inertial properties of the particle. The coupling of intrinsic spin with rotation is examined and the corresponding inertial effects of intrinsic spin are studied. An experiment to measure directly the spin-rotation coupling via neutron interferometry is analyzed in detail.
