Gravitational waves and spinning test particles
M. Mohseni, H. R. Sepangi
TL;DR
This paper investigates how spinning test particles move in a weak gravitational wave, revealing that their orbital dimensions depend on the spin-to-mass ratio, and compares this with non-spinning particles.
Contribution
It introduces an analysis of spinning test particle dynamics in gravitational waves, highlighting the influence of spin on orbital characteristics.
Findings
Orbital size depends on spin-to-mass ratio.
Spinning particles behave differently from non-spinning ones in gravitational waves.
Results show sensitivity of particle motion to spin effects.
Abstract
The motion of a classical spinning test particle in the field of a weak plane gravitational wave is studied. It is found that the characteristic dimensions of the particle's orbit is sensitive to the ratio of the spin to the mass of the particle. The results are compared with the corresponding motion of a particle without spin.
