Abstract
In this paper, which completes earlier work on conserved quantities of spinning test particles in general relativity (Rudiger 1981a), quadratic conserved quantities are considered. It is shown that by a suitable change of variables the trivial conserved quantities, which result from a reducible Killing tensor, can essentially be separated from the non-trivial quantities. If the equations of motion are linearized in the spin, it is shown that non-trivial quantities of this type can be constructed for two classes of space-times including the Kerr geometry and the Friedman universe.
