Abstract
The Larmor clock which was proposed to determine tunneling times of particles with spin through barriers is studied. Tunneling of wave packets is numerically derived from the time-dependent Schr\odinger-Pauli equation. The Larmor clock often does not proceed unidirectionally in time. The asymptotic readings are well defined. For wide wave packets the asymptotic Larmor times agree with the stationary-state predictions; deviations are seen for narrow wave packets. B\uttiker's dwell time is investigated and its connection with the Larmor times is confirmed in the case of wave packets. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
