Fast rotating particles: the electron magnetic moment

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

In a recent paper the dynamical equations for rapidly rotating bodies were developed. Here we apply the theory to calculate the electron magnetic moment and show that it has one Bohr magneton, in spite of the fact that its spin is only 1/2 ħ, in accordance with Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit’s assumption.
