Nós introduzimos os graus de liberdade de spin via variáveis de Grassman, que levam diretamente ao conceito de supersimetria presente na teoria. As equações de movimento e a quantização são consideradas tanto para as teorias livres de spin 0 e 1/2, como para a teoria com interação eletromagnética. A álgebra dos vínculos de primeira classe é extendida para descrever partículas de spin N/2, que incluem as representações de spin 1. A teoria quântica obtida é comparada com a teoria clássica de campos / Aclassical relativistic particleis described by means of Dirac's formalism for constrained systems, where the constraints come from the reparametrization invariance required by an explicitly covariant theory. We introduce spin degrees of freedom via Grassman variables, which leads directly to the concept of supersymmetry in the theory. The equations of motion and quantization are considered both for the spin 0 and 1/2 free theories, and for the eletromagnetic interaction. The first class constraints algebra is extended to describe spin N/2 particles, which include spin 1 representations. The quantum theory obtained is compared to the classical theory of fields

Measurements of the Ƭ lepton polarization and forward-backward polarization asymmetry near the Z° resonance using the OPAL detector are described. The measurements are based on analyses of [special characters omitted] decays from a sample of 144, 810 [special characters omitted] candidates corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 151 pb-1. Assuming that the Ƭ lepton decays according to V-A theory, the average Ƭ polarization near [special characters omitted] is measured to be [special characters omitted] = (-14.10 ± 0.73 ± 0.55)% and the Ƭ polarization forward-backward asymmetry to be [special characters omitted] = (-10.55 ± 0.76 ± 0.25)%, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. Taking into account the small effects of the photon propagator, photon-Z° interference and photonic radiative corrections, these results can be expressed in terms of the lepton neutral current asymmetry parameters: AƬ = 0.1466 ± 0.0076 ± 0.0057, Ae = 0.1464 ± 0.0108 ± 0.0036. These measurements are consistent with the hypothesis of lepton universality and combine to give [special characters omitted] = 0.1455 ± 0.0073. Within the context of the standard model this combined result corresponds to sin [special characters omitted] = 0.23172 ± 0.00092. Combining these results with those from the other OPAL neutral current measurements yields a value of sin [special characters omitted] = 0.23211 ± 0.00068. / Graduate
