Description
This report demonstrates that relativistic time dilation is a dynamical effect: it depends on interactions. As a result, even stationary particles may experience time dilation, for example in an external field. This happens in particular when there are extra degrees of freedom attached to a particle like spin and a magnetic moment. This phenomenon is illustrated with examples from QED and QCD.
