The present version of CAIN accepts a constant external field only.
The covariant form of the equation of motion
![]()
where
is the proper time and
the electromagnetic
field tensor, can be solved exactly when the field is constant.
The eigenvalues of the matrix
is given by
and
, where
![]()
with
![]()
Then, the solution is

where the upper (lower) sign applies to
(
)
and
with
being the antisymmetric tensor of
rank 4.
The classical spin motion of electrons is given by the Thomas-BMT
equation
![]()
where a is the coefficient of
anomalous magnetic moment and
![]()

moment of electron
When the field is very strong, a is different from the well-known
value
but is a function of the field strength
characterized the parameter
.
