Abstract
We present the classical and quantum theory of the spinning conformal particle. This is a model with manifestly O(2, 4) (conformal) invariance, and it describes both massive and massless particles of arbitrary spin depending on the projection to Minkowski space. We perform both an ordinary BRST quantization and an extended one including the anti-BRST symmetry. It is shown that anti-BRST invariance is necessary to ensure ghost decoupling and make the quantization of the model consistent.
