Rarita-Schwinger equation
Definition
- In theoretical physics, the Rarita–Schwinger equation is the relativistic field equation of spin-3/2 fermions. It is similar to the Dirac equation for spin-1/2 fermions. This equation was first introduced by William Rarita and Julian Schwinger in 1941. (Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rarita%E2%80%93Schwinger_equation)
