We compute the decay rates and production cross sections in the main channels for spin-3/2 and spin-2 states at both electron-positron and hadron colliders, and identify the most promising novel experimental signatures for discovering such particles at the LHC. The discussion is qualitatively extended to the spin-5/2 and spin-3 cases. Higher-spin particles exhibit a rich phenomenology and have signatures that often resemble the ones of supersymmetric and extra-dimensional theories. To enable further studies of higher-spin particles at collider and beyond, we collect the relevant Feynman rules and other technical details.}, organization = {Estonian Research Council MOBTTP135 PRG803 MOBTT5 MOBJD323 MOBTT86}, organization = {EU through the European Regional Development Fund CoE program TK133 "The Dark Side of the Universe"}, organization = {UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) ST/P001246/1}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Beyond Standard Model}, keywords = {Effective Field Theories}, keywords = {Higher Spin Symmetry}, title = {Higher-spin particles at high-energy colliders}, doi = {10.1007/JHEP05(2021)254}, author = {Criado, Juan C. and Djouadi, Abdelhak and Koivunen, Niko and Raidal, Martti and Veermäe, Hardi}, }
