The CM oscillated with the magnetic field and the spin precesses backwards and forward with Larmor angular velocity.We see that the evolution of the spin is oscillating in a different direction when the curvature of the CM motion changes. Contrary to the electric field case, in the presence of a magnetic field the spin orientation changes, precessing clockwise around the magnetic field direction.

The spinning particle model of the electron is a deterministic model, but the high non linearity of the differential equations generate very complex patterns in the movement of the electron creating a seemingly chaotic motion.
