abstract

We present rules for computing scattering amplitudes of charged scalar matter and photons, where the photon has non-zero spin Casimir $\rho$, and is therefore a continuous spin particle (CSP). The amplitudes reduce to familiar scalar QED when $\rho\rightarrow 0$. As a concrete example, we compute the pair annihilation and Compton scattering amplitudes in this theory and comment on their physical properties, including unitarity and scaling behavior at small and large $\rho$.

  1. BRST-BV approach to fields in Poincare patch of AdS

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    A universal BRST-BV Lagrangian for free AdS fields is obtained by solving algebraic defining equations for spin operators, with explicit solutions for totally symmetric integer-spin and continuous-spin fields.

  2. Hydrogen 21 cm Constraints on the Photon's Spin Scale

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A continuous-spin photon would suppress the hydrogen 21cm transition rate by 1 minus rho squared alpha squared over 6 omega squared, which turns existing in-beam hyperfine data into the bound rho below 1 meV.
