Determining the spin of any new particle is critical in identifying the true theory among various extensions of the Standard Model (SM). The degree of $Z$-boson polarization in any two-body decay process $A\to B Z$ is sensitive to the spin…

It is known that Schr\"odinger equation fails in describing the dynamics of highly energetic particles. We propose to quantify this lack of Lorentz covariance by evaluating the probability for a particle to be measured outside the set of…
