abstract
We present a model-independent argument showing that massless particles interacting with gravity in a Minkowski background space can have at most spin two. This result is proven by extending a famous theorem due to Weinberg and Witten to theories that do not possess a gauge-invariant stress-energy tensor.

A massless complex scalar pair with purely left-handed vector coupling exactly reproduces the Michel distribution and its extensions, while all other invisible pairs of spin up to 2 produce distinguishable kinematic signatures.

Can a Nonstandard Invisible Pair Mimic the Michel Distribution?
