Abstract

We present a simple and complete determination of the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions of a relativistic spin-1 particle with arbitrary magnetic moment in a homogeneous magnetic field. The particle is described by a four-vector field satisfying the usual second-order equation including anomalous-magnetic-moment interaction. In the light of our results and those pertaining to the case when the external field is a Coulomb field, we discuss briefly the question of consistency of the vector theory at the basic c-number level.
