Comparison of Spin Dynamics in the Cylindrical and Frenet-Serret Coordinate Systems
Abstract
A comparative analysis of a description of spin dynamics in the cylindrical and Frenet-Serret coordinate systems is carried out. An equivalence of these two systems is shown. A possibility of efficient use of the cylindrical coordinate system for a calculation of spin evolution of particles and nuclei in accelerators and storage rings is caused by an immobility of its coordinate axes relative to stationary detectors.
