    The document discusses the relativistic spinor model for a particle with spin 1/2. It begins by reviewing the non-relativistic model for a Pauli spinor with spin s = 1/2. This is generalized to the relativistic case using the Dirac equation for a spinor psi with 4 components. The Dirac equation is shown to reproduce the Pauli equation in the non-relativistic limit. The behavior of fermions is also briefly discussed.
