Abstract:

The integration between the special relativity theory and quantum mechanics yielded many paradoxes that remained unsolved until the last years, like the zitterbewegung problem. Despite the success of the Dirac equation, the spin prediction from it could be identified only with non-relativistic approximations (Pauli and Foldy-Wouthysen). In this paper, we show that the derivation of the spin and its magnetic moment can be done with a classical treatment. In this approach a modified Dirac equation was obtained which also eliminates the problem of the zitterbewegung.
