Spin Oscillations in Storage Rings
The dependence of the particle rotation frequency on the particle orbit
perturbations is found. The exact equation of spin motion in the cylindrical
coordinate system is derived. The calculated formula for the frequency of g-2
precession is in the best agreement with previous results. Nevertheless, this
formula contains the additional oscillatory term that can be used for fitting.
The influence of spin oscillations on the spin dynamics in the EDM experiment
is negligible.Comment: 5 pages. To appear in the proceedings of 16th International Spin

Classical Limit of Relativistic Quantum Mechanical Equations in the Foldy-Wouthuysen Representation
It is shown that, under the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation
conditions, using the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation allows the problem of
finding a classical limit of relativistic quantum mechanical equations to be
reduced to the replacement of operators in the Hamiltonian and quantum
mechanical equations of motion by the respective classical quantities.Comment: 6 page
Connection Between Wave Functions in the Dirac and Foldy-Wouthuysen Representations
The connection between wave functions in the Dirac and Foldy-Wouthuysen
representations is found. When the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is exact,
upper spinors in two representations differ only by constant factors, and lower
spinors in the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation are equal to zero.Comment: 7 page
