Description:
Galaxies, Vol. 5, Pages 103: Spin and Maximal Acceleration Galaxies doi: 10.3390/galaxies5040103 Authors: Giorgio Papini We study the spin current tensor of a Dirac particle at accelerations close to the upper limit introduced by Caianiello. Continual interchange between particle spin and angular momentum is possible only when the acceleration is time-dependent. This represents a stringent limit on the effect that maximal acceleration may have on spin physics in astrophysical applications. We also investigate some dynamical consequences of maximal acceleration.
