Using the ${\mathcal N}=1$ supersymmetric, spinning worldline quantum field theory formalism we compute the conservative spin-orbit part of the momentum impulse $\Delta p_i^\mu$, spin kick $\Delta S_i^\mu$ and scattering angle $\theta$ from…

New structural properties of post-Minkowskian (PM) gravity are derived, notably within its effective one body (EOB) formulation. Our results concern both the mass dependence, and the high-energy behavior, of the classical scattering angle.…
