Abstract

We consider a spin 1 / 2 particle interacting with a time dependent magnetic field using path integral formalism. The propagator is first of all written in the standard form by replacing the spin by two fermionic oscillators via the Schwinger’s model; then it is determined exactly thanks to a simple transformations and the probability transition is then deduced.
