Phys. Rev. 133, B1318–B1332 (1964)Feynman Rules for Any SpinReceived 21 October 1963; published in the issue dated March 1964 The explicit Feynman rules are given for massive particles of any spin j, in both a 2j+1-component and a 2(2j+1)-component formalism. The propagators involve matrices which transform like symmetric traceless tensors of rank 2j; they are the natural generalizations of the 2×2 four-vector σμ and 4×4 four-vector γμ for j=1/2. Our calculation uses field theory, but only as a convenient instrument for the construction of a Lorentz-invariant S matrix. This approach is also used to prove the spin-statistics theorem, crossing symmetry, and to discuss T, C, and P. © 1964 The American Physical Society URL:
