Ae. Lobanov et Os. Pavlova, On classical description of radiation from neutral fermion with anomalous magnetic moment, PHYS LETT A, 275(1-2), 2000, pp. 1-4
Electromagnetic radiation from an uncharged spin 1/2 particle with an anoma
lous magnetic moment moving in the classical electromagnetic external field
originates from quantum spin-flip transitions. Although this process has a
purely quantum nature, it was observed for certain particular external fie
ld configurations that, when quantum recoil is neglected, the radiation pow
er corresponds to the classical radiation from an evolving magnetic dipole.
We argue that this correspondence has a more general validity in the case
of an unpolarized particle and derive a general formula for radiation in te
rms of the external field strength and its derivative. A classical dynamics
of the spin is described by the Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation. (C) 2000
