Abstract
In this paper the classical limit of relativistic transport theories for spin 1/2 fermions is examined through a comparison with the classical kinetic theory derived from N=1 supersymmetric classical mechanics. The conclusion is that in the classical limit spindensities, i.e. the axial-vector contribution to the relativistic Wigner-function, vanishes and dipole-densities, i.e. the spin-tensor contributions to the relativistic Wigner function, may survive.
