Abstract

The scattering of a nucleon beam around a cylinder containing a non-Abelian flux is studied. We confirm all the previsions of Wu and Yang. We consider the generalization to the gauge group SU(N)SU(N), and derive a classification scheme. Isospin precession is recovered also at the classical limit.
