Spindensities in Pseudo-classical kinetic theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In this paper the classical limit of relativistic transport theories for spin 1/2 fermions is examined through a comparison with the classical kinetic theory derived from N=1 supersymmetric classical mechanics. The conclusion is that in the classical limit spindensities, i.e. the axial-vector contribution to the relativistic Wigner-function, vanishes and dipole-densities, i.e. the spin-tensor contributions to the relativistic Wigner function, may survive.
