✦ Synopsis
Spin effects are extracted from the Lorentz-Dirac equations of motion of a point charge without the introduction of additional empirical parameters. The effective motion of the particle is distinguished from the motion of the point electron which performs a classical Zitterbewegung. Introducing parameters to describe the effective motion, radiative reaction disappears and spin angular momentum appears. A new condition for the rate of radiation emerges.
