The magnetic spectra of a scalar field and the Dirac equation do not fix every higher-spin spectrum. In SI units, a charged mode with a specified gyromagnetic ratio corresponding to has the model branchesHere is the Landau level index and is the dimensionless spin projection measured along . The power in the magnetic term follows because has dimensions of squared momentum in SI units; the Gaussian-unit field convention uses a different power of .
For spin one, the aligned branch becomes . A negative value signals an instability of the assumed background in this model. This extrapolation requires the stated magnetic coupling: spin alone does not determine for an arbitrary higher-spin field.
