Lagrangian Models of the Particles with Spin: The First Seventy Years

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-11-03 v1

Abstract

We briefly review models of relativistic particles with spin. Departing from the oldest attempts to describe the spin within the lagrangian framework we pass through various non supersymmetric models. Then the component and superfield formulations of the spinning particle and superparticle models are reviewed. Our focus is mainly on the classical side of the problem, but some quantization questions are mentioned as well.
