UV constraints on massive spinning particles: lessons from the gravitino

Abstract Self-interacting massive particles with spin ≥ 1 unavoidably violate unitarity; the question is at what scale. For spin-1 the strong coupling scale (at which perturbative unitarity is lost) cannot be raised by any finite tuning of the interactions, while for spin-2 there exists a special tu...
