A formulation of D = 10 superparticle dynamics is given that contain space-time and twistor variables. The set of constraints is entirely first class, and gauge conditions may be imposed that reduce the system to a Casalbuoni-Brink-Schwarz superparticle, a spinning particle or a twistor particle.

The general model of an arbitrary spin massive particle in any dimensional space–time is derived on the basis of Kirillov–Kostant–Souriau approach. It is shown that the model allows consistent coupling to an arbitrary background of electromagnetic and gravitational fields.

We find all free, massless, finite-dimensional, irreducible representations of the conformal group SO(D, 2) in all space-time dimensions D. In odd D they are only the scalar and spinor, but in even D they are all those which are (anti-)self-dual (chiral) on all vector indices. These are exactly the ones described by the mechanics of the extended spinning particle.
