Scattering of vector particles with oriented spin

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Polarization effects of vector particles are investigated in a magnetic field with a Gaussian distribution of the field strength and in a central “screening” field of the Wentzel-Yukawa type. It is shown that for small momenta of the unpolarized beam, interacting with the first field, in contrast to scattering from a central field the limiting transition from a relativistically vector state into a scalar state is impossible.
