Abstract
The concept of longitudinal spin fluctuations, previously used to take into account the dynamics of the longitudinal magnetization of amorphous ferromagnets, is extended for disordered magnetic solids where the total magnetic moment is not conserved. A local relaxation time is introduced and we study the processes by which a spin can relax in an amorphous magnetic solid.
