On the Bargmann–Michel–Telegdi equations, and spin–orbit coupling: A tribute to Raymond Stora

The Bargmann–Michel–Telegdi equations describing the motions of a spinning, charged, relativistic particle endowed with an anomalous magnetic moment in an electromagnetic field, are reconsidered. They are shown to duly stem from the linearization of the characteristic distribution of a presymplectic...
