    The number "2s + 1" is the multiplicity of the spin system. For example, there are only two possible values for a spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ particle: s z = + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and s z = − ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠. These correspond to quantum states in which the spin component is pointing in the +z or −z directions respectively, and are often referred to as "spin ...
