Spin parameter
Topics referred to by the same term
Spin parameter may refer to one of several different parameters in physics.
Black hole physics
One of two dimensionless parameters relating to black holes:
- The spin parameter of an individual black hole, a variable with a value ranging from 0 to 1
- The effective inspiral spin parameter for a pair of merging black holes, a variable with a value ranging from −1 to 1
Particle physics
- The spin quantum number of an elementary particle, usually called just "spin", a constant with a value of n/2, where n is a non-negative integer
