摘要
We show that spin is properly described in terms of two inequivalent classes of fiber bundles with structure group SO(3). One class accommodates only integer spin particles, while the second class includes both bosons and fermions. Thus, in particular, the usual double covering of tangent spaces and the universal covering group SU(2) play no necessary role in the description of spinors.
