Abstract

We propose a definition of classical differential cross sections for particles with essentially nonplanar orbits, such as spinning ones. We give also a method for its computation. The calculations are carried out explicitly for electromagnetic, gravitational, and short-range scalar interactions up to the linear terms in the slow-motion approximation. The contribution of the spin-spin terms is found to be at best 10-6 times the post-Newtonian ones for the gravitational interaction.
