Hydrodynamics of massive particles with spin 1/2

Nuclear Theory 2020-12-17 v1

Abstract

The formulation of relativistic hydrodynamics for massive particles with spin 1/2 is shortly reviewed. The proposed framework is based on the Wigner function treated in a semi-classical approximation or, alternatively, on a classical treatment of spin 1/2. Several theoretical issues regarding the choice of the energy-momentum and spin tensors used to construct the hydrodynamic framework with spin are discussed in parallel.
