Catalina Curceanu, John Gillaspy, R. C. Hilborn

Abstract

This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on the Spin-Statistics Connection and related issues such as the Pauli Exclusion Principle and particle indistinguishability. Journal articles and books are cited for the following topics: basic resources, general aspects of spin-statistics, the spin-statistics theorem , theories that go beyond the standard spin-statistics theorem, and experimental tests of the spin-statistics theorem and the symmetrization postulate.
