Abstract: (APS)

A new geometrical representation for the state of polarization of spin-one particles is suggested which in the limit of mass zero reduces to the well-known Poincare sphere representation for light. A careful consideration of the bounds on the polarization parameters of spin-one resonances produced in parity-conserving processes is also discussed as yet another particular case.
