The other two remain indeterminable. Usually, L z is taken as the measurable component. For a stationary state, the part of the wave function  L which describes the angular momentum has to be an eigenfunction of the angular momentum operators, thus it has to satisfy the two equations: LL L  22 L (38) and LzLz L L (39) where L 2 and L z represents the associated eigenvalues.

Since the discovery of the electron spin, 1925, this quantum state keeps some mystery, since it cannot be described like an angular momentum, but shows experimental evidences to be something like an angular momentum due to the facts that spin  acts experimentally like something rotating in space having an intrinsic   couples with the normal orbital angular momentum to the resulting total    Since all fundamental particles have spin 1/2, this quantum phenomenon is very important. The usual description of spin 1/2 is based on the Pauli matrices, avoiding any space-like imagination. People who are used to work with freedom. Indeed, this can easily be done. Let us look on the spherical harmonics Y l,m (,) given in (40) and the associated Legendre polynomials   )( d d 1 2 2 xP x xxP l m m m m l  (48) with 4.2 Spin-1/2-particles in fractional description angular momentum has the physical dimension of an angular momentum angular momentum like an angular momentum is conserved as part of angular momentum exhibits a magnetic moment expected from circulating currents and some other things remembering on angular momentum fractional order calculus will ask why physicists do not try to describe the spin similar to the well-known angular momentum, but only with a further degree of Krempl but do not change the magnitude: 151   l l l l l x xl xP 1 d d !2 1 2  (49) derivatives in the expressions:   )( d d 1 2/1 2/1 2/1 4 1 22/1 2/1 xP x xxP  (50)  1 d d2 2 2/1 2/1 2/1    x x xP (51) We can merge these two equations to:    2/1 2 2/12/1 2/12/1 4 1 22/1 2/1 1 d d 1 2      x x xxP (52) and need only to assume the existence of the fractional order derivatives, but the two independent solutions (+ or ):            2 expsincot 1 ),( ~ 2/1,2/12/1 iiY (53) satisfying the operator equations: 2/1 2 2/1, 2 2/1 2 ~ )1 2 1 ( 2 1~~   !!S (54) 2/12/12/1 ~ 2 ~~      ! ! i z S (55) for the spin operator S which is in complete analogy to the orbital angular momentum L. It might be noticed that usage of the generalised Legendre polynomials will also yield such solutions. The imaginary factor ( i) is due to the selected branches of the roots and can be omitted, because if  is an eigenfunction, then c with arbitrary constant c is also an eigenfunction of the differential operator. However, the physical interpretation of the wave function asks for a normalisation. Thus, the integral of its norm |* | over the whole space has to to look on solution (53). Omitting for simplicity the unitary factor ( i) we have and extend them to fractional order l = 1/2, m = 1/2 i.e., to evaluate the semi- fortunately, do not need to evaluate them by fractional calculus. Thus we obtain be 1. But what is the “whole” space in our case ? To answer this question we have SEMI-INTEGRALS AND SEMI-DERIVATIVES IN PARTICLE PHYSICS 152 differ monumentally from their analogues in the orbital angular momentum functions. We immediately see, that there is a periodicity of 4 in the phase . This means that a spin-1/2-particle has to turn twice in the space to return in its initial state. This has intrigued physicists since the first experimental evidences of this phenomenon [12,13]. The interpretation of these experiments was taken into doubt by many physicists, but recently confirmed again with modified experiments avoiding the reasons for criticism [14]. Today, this 4-periodicity of spin-1/2-particles becomes generally accepted. If any theorist would have introduced the fractional description of the spin just after his discovery in the twenties of the last century, his model would have been made ridiculous due to wave function is the probability for the particle to occupy the volume element of the space, this space has to contain all possible configurations. This means that 3 integral for  from 0 to 4. This means that our spin wave functions  S for spin 1/2 have to look like:            2 expsincot 2 1 2/1 i (56) These functions form an orthonormal basis for all spin wave functions over the  3 2.

Perhaps, this was one of the reasons, why one did not believe in a description similar to the orbital angular momentum. Nowadays, “dynamical picture. phases” or similar concepts [15] are proposed to save the “classical” spinor 2. We have to extend the Krempl Wave function of spin-1/2-particles Let us now return to our question about the “whole space”. Since the norm of the twice our civilian space, i.e., the “whole” space is (c) Ladder operators the phases /2, which do not affect the magnitude of these functions, but which (b) 153 yx iSSS   (58) create (+) or annihilate () a magnetic spin quantum according to  SsSz m   SSS 1!

The nice aspect of the fractional description of spin-1/2-particles is beside the direct evidence of their 4-periodicity the possibility of an interpretation in the exponential term, which is also the sole complex part of the spin wave of a particle with the mass m P is proportional to the gradient of the phase  of its wave function:  P m ! v (61) }2/1,0,0{ sin P    rm ! v (62) which tells us that we have a rotation around the chosen z-axes.

In this picture, the spin-up and spin-down states differ only by the sign of function yielding the phase  = /2. In quantum mechanics, the “mean velocity” Applying this to the spin wave functions (56) we get in polar coordinates: corresponds to a right-handed rotation, spin 1/2 to a left-handed rotation. in the real space, it is complementary to Pauli’s spinor picture. It has to be SEMI-INTEGRALS AND SEMI-DERIVATIVES IN PARTICLE PHYSICS These examples show that semi-integrals and semi-derivatives are appropriate to describe natural phenomena. Today, the application of semi-integrals in 154 connection with Abel-type integral equations pervades all natural and technical sciences, as well as modern medicine. The fractional description of spin-1/2- particles can perhaps contribute to enlighten the mystery of the spin. Krempl References 1. Oldham KB, Spanier J (1974) The Fractional Calculus.

In other words, it means that after a proper statistical average the microscopic dynamics is converted into a relaxation that is widely used for description of relaxation phenomena in disordered media. It is shown that the generalized stretched-exponential function describes the integer integral and derivatives with real and complex exponents and their possible generalizations can be applicable for description of different relaxation or diffusion processes in the intermediate (mesoscale) region.

So, there is a barest necessity to derive kinetic equations with the statistical mechanics, based on the consideration of an infinite chain of equations for a set of correlation functions. It becomes evident that equations with fractional derivatives can play a crucial role in description of kinetic and transfer phenomena in the mesoscale region. From our point of view this necessary fractional calculus. In present time the interest in application of the mathematical apparatus of the fractional calculus in different branches of techniques and natural sciences is considerably increased. Here one can remind the applications of the fractional calculus in constitutive relations and other properties of various engineering materials such as viscoelastic polymers, foam, gel, and animal tissues, and their engineering and Detailed references can be found in the recent review, in the proceedings of the The first attempt to understand the result of averaging of a smooth function over the given fractal (Cantor) set has been undertaken in [15]. In the note and later in paper some doubts were raised to the reliability of the previously obtained result this paper (RRN) to reconsider the former result, and the detailed study of this problem showed that the doubts had some grounds and were directly linked with the relatively delicate procedure of averaging a smooth function over fractal sets, in particular, on Cantor set and its generalizations. integer operators with real fractional exponent [1–7].
