| Title: |
Discriminating spin through quantum interference |
| Abstract: |
Many of the proposed solutions to the hierarchy and
naturalness problems postulate
new `partner' fields to the standard model particles. Determining the
spins of these new particles
will be critical in distinguishing among the various possible SM
extensions, yet proposed methods
rely on the underlying models. We propose a new model-independent
method for spin measurements
which takes advantage of quantum interference among helicity states.
We demonstrate that this
method will be able to discriminate scalar particles from higher spin
states at the ILC, and discuss
application to higher spins and possible uses at the LHC.
