Recent explorations on how to construct a double copy of massive gauge fields have shown that, while any amplitude can be written in a form consistent with colour-kinematics duality, the double copy is generically unphysical. In this paper,…

We show that the self-dual classical double copy can be straightforwardly extended to the higher-spin case when formulated in terms of light-cone gauge prepotentials. This allows us to construct a higher-spin extension for any self-dual…
