Abstract
Spin-dependent interaction in hadrons is considered in the
approach of the QCD string. The string moment of inertia, which ensures the
correct (inverse) Regge slope 2πσ, is found to suppress the
spin-orbit interaction. For light quarks and moderate angular momenta the
suppression constitutes around 25% whereas for large angular momenta the
spin-orbit interaction is suppressed by the factor L-2/5. For heavy
quarks the effect manifests itself as a string correction for the
spin-dependent potential.
