Abstract: The classical model of spinning particle is analyzed in details in two versions - with single spinor and two spinors put on the trajectory. Equations of motion of the first version are easily solvable. The system with two spinors becomes non-linear. Nevertheless the equations of motion are analyzed in details and solved numerically. In either case the trajectories are ilustrated and their properties are disussed. There is also discussion of possible physical quantities associated with the spinning motions. Among others: the size of particles and their gyromagnetic ratios. Finally, some possible, speculative explanations of the properties of the Universe are proposed: the origin and nature of dark matter and lack of the equilibrium bettween mater and anti-matter.

Review text

The paper works out a classical description of spinning particle with continuous spinorial degrees of freedom. It starts with the single spinor system and its Lagrangian description. This shows a dependence of the mass with the spin which is the same to the quantum case with discrete spins. The trajectories are derived and a classical explanation of the Zitterbewegung given. Furthermore, electric and magnetic dipole moments of the spinning particle are given. By the lack of a proper definition for the CPT Transformation, the authors then introduce a second spinor which in combination shows nonlinear behavior. This is outlined in Section 2. Here, the interaction of two spin vectors leads to interesting trajectories which are depicted in Figures 5--9 for different cases. All in all, the paper gives a complementary view on spinorial systems from the classical point of view and may enhance the reader's understanding of the better-known quantum system.
