**Spin structure of mesons:**
- Spin-0: quark spins anti-aligned (S_q = 0) + L = 0 → J = 0
- Spin-1: quark spins aligned (S_q = 1) + L = 0 → J = 1
- Higher spins: orbital angular momentum L > 0 added to S_q

**Spin structure of baryons:**
- Spin-1/2: three quark spins combine to S_q = 1/2 + L = 0 → J = 1/2
- Spin-3/2: three quark spins combine to S_q = 3/2 + L = 0 → J = 3/2
- The proton and neutron are the only stable baryons (neutron unstable outside nucleus)

| Neutron | -3.82608545 | -1.91304273 μ_N |

The g-factor deviation from the Dirac prediction (g = 2 for spin-1/2) is the **anomalous magnetic moment** a = (g - 2)/2.

## Spin Correlation and Entanglement (LHC Data)

### Top quark spin correlation matrix (CMS/ATLAS 2024)
The spin correlation matrix C for a tt̄ pair is defined as:

```
C_{ij} = (σ_{ij} - δ_{ij}) / 3
```

where σ_{ij} = 4 ⟨s_i ⊗ s_j⟩ is the normalized spin correlation. The entanglement condition is:

```
|Tr(C)| > 1    (PPT criterion for entanglement)
```

| Observable | SM Prediction | ATLAS/CMS Measurement |
|-----------|---------------|----------------------|
| ΔΦ_ℓℓ (lepton angle difference) | ~2.9 rad | 2.87 ± 0.05 rad |
| A_ΔΦ (asymmetry) | 0.42 | 0.41 ± 0.03 |
| C_{kk} (longitudinal correlation) | -0.31 | -0.29 ± 0.04 |
| C_{rr} (transverse correlation) | +0.18 | +0.16 ± 0.04 |

**Result: entanglement confirmed at >5σ.**

## For Compression: Spin as Information Capacity

| Spin s | Number of spin states (2s + 1) | Information per particle (bits) |
|--------|-------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1/2 | 2 | 1 |
| 1 | 3 | log₂(3) ≈ 1.58 |
| 3/2 | 4 | 2 |
| 2 | 5 | log₂(5) ≈ 2.32 |

A spin-1/2 particle is a **qubit** (2 states = 1 bit).
The Standard Model fermions are 48 qubits (if distinguishable).
The total Hilbert space dimension of SM particles: 2⁴⁸ × 3¹² × 1¹ ≈ 10²⁰.
