Higher spin theories can be efficiently described in terms of auxiliary St\"uckelberg or projective space field multiplets. By considering how higher spin models couple to scale, these approaches can be unified in a conformal…
We study the potential of the next $ep$ collider, namely LHeC, with two options $\sqrt{s}=1.3$ TeV $\sqrt{s}=1.98$ TeV, to search for excited spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 neutrinos. We calculate the single production cross section of excited…
The most general 2+1 dimensional spinning particle model is considered. The action functional may involve all the possible first order Poincare invariants of world lines, and the particular class of actions is specified thus the…

We propose the use of pure spin-3/2 propagator in the $(3/2,0) \oplus (0,3/2)$ representation in particle and nuclear physics. To formulate the propagator in a covariant form we use the antisymmetric tensor spinor representation and we…
In this thesis, we present two aspects of higher-spin gauge field theories: dualities and interactions. We first consider dualities of the free theories at the level of the action. Then, external "electric" and "magnetic" sources are…

We explore signatures of large extra dimensions with a polarized electron/positrn beam at the Joint Linear Collider (JLC). We point out that spin informations can be useful to study indirect signals for large extra dimensions due to spin-2…
We consider the pair production of color triplet spin-3/2 quarks and their subsequent decays at the LHC. This particle, if produced, will most likely decay into top quark and gluon, bottom quark and gluon, or a light quark jet and gluon,…
We present a fully automated framework to compute production spin-density matrices for generic collider processes at tree level within \textsc{MadGraph5\_aMC@NLO}. The method assembles helicity amplitudes into event-by-event production…
Magnetic interactions between localized spins-1/2 play a central role in quantum magnetism, spin-based quantum computing, and quantum simulation. The range and strength of these interactions are key figures of merit. Here, we probe exchange…

We study a quantum chain of spin-1/2 particles whose world lines form a loop gas. In addition to the usual interaction that projects a pair of neighboring spins onto quantum-group spin 0, we introduce a three-site interaction that projects…
It is well known that a strictly massless spin-$3/2$ particle can interact consistently only within supergravity. Recently, positivity arguments have shown that an effective field theory of a massive Majorana spin-$3/2$ particle admits a…
