A Pure Spinor Twistor Description of the $D=10$ Superparticle

Abstract

We present a novel twistor formulation of the ten-dimensional massless superparticle. This formulation is based on the introduction of pure spinor variables through a field redefinition of another model for the superparticle, and in the new description we find that the super-Pauli-Lubanski three-form naturally arises as a constraint. Quantization is studied in detail for both models and they are shown to correctly describe the D=10D = 10 super-Yang-Mills states.
