Compton amplitude for massive bosons of arbitrary spin

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-04-10 v1

Abstract

In this work, we write down an analytic expression of electromagnetic tree-level Compton amplitude for a completely symmetric traceless (bosonic) higher spin particle in any dimension. Our analysis is restricted to the three-point function, which is unique in the Infrared and responsible for the Coulomb interactions/soft photon theorem. We propose an analogue of RξR_\xi gauge in a theory of higher spin particles. We demonstrate that the theory is unitary only for ξ=1,\xi=1,\infty.
