Multispinor formalism for higher spin theory: particle physics phenomenology

Abstract: The Standard Model of particle physics, despite its many triumphs, still has flaws that are yet to be convincingly addressed by new physics models. Among many other open questions, the nature of dark matter and the recently updated muon g-2 anomaly remain as some of the more pertinent examples. In this talk, I will review a possible explanation of these issues in light of a recently proposed effective field theory for higher spin particles. I will first highlight the problems of higher spin theories of the past and then explain how one can construct a theory avoiding these obstacles. After that I will explain the phenomenological features of the new theory in detail, covering issues related to dark matter, collider physics, the g-2 anomaly, and nuclear physics.
