Abstract
We derive an equation of motion of the Bloch-vector tipping angle and the area theorem in the presence of relaxation. We derive relaxation-dependent shifts in the equilibrium nπ areas. Part of these shifts depends on a weighted time integral of the sine of the area, and hence these shifts remove the propagation degeneracy of pulses having equal areas but different shapes.
