Phys. Rev. D 64, 125013 (2001) [11 pages]Relativistic wave equations for interacting, massive particles with arbitrary half-integer spinsReceived 4 January 2001; revised 4 May 2001; published 28 November 2001 New relativistic wave equations (RWE) for massive particles with arbitrary half-integer spins s interacting with external electromagnetic fields are proposed. They are based on wave functions which are irreducible tensors of rank 2n (n=s-1/2) antisymmetric with respect to n pairs of indices, whose components are bispinors. The form of RWE is straightforward and free of inconsistencies associated with the other approaches to equations describing interacting higher spin particles. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
