The motion of a classical spinning test particle in the field of a weak plane gravitational wave is studied. It is found that the characteristic dimensions of the particle's orbit is sensitive to the ratio of the spin to the mass of the particle. The results are compared with the corresponding motion of a particle without spin.

Analytic Solution for the Motion of Spinning Particles in Plane Gravitational Wave Spacetime
Closed-form expressions for the worldlines of spinning particles in plane gravitational wave backgrounds are obtained as single integrals over retarded time by exploiting six conserved quantities from translational Ki...
