The theory of Hanle magnetoresistance is worked out and applied to thin metal films with strong spin-orbit interaction, exhibiting the spin Hall effect. A correction to the resistivity tensor is derived and analyzed for the case of a classically weak magnetic field. The spin accumulation created at the surfaces of the film by the spin Hall effect decreases with the magnetic field because of the Hanle effect, resulting in an increase of the electrical resistance. The angular dependence of this magnetoresistance resembles the recently discovered spin Hall magnetoresistance in Pt/Y3Fe5O12 bilayers, although the presence of a ferromagnetic insulator is not required. We show that this Hanle magnetoresistance is an alternative, simple way to quantitatively study the coupling between charge and spin currents in metals with strong spin-orbit coupling. The theory is compared against experiments carried out for Pt and Ta thin films.
