%0 Journal Article %T Physical States in the $W_3$ String %A C. N. Pope %J Physics %D 1992 %I arXiv %X We present a review of some of the recent developments in the study of the $W_3$ string. One of the interesting features of the theory is that the physical spectrum includes states with non-standard ghost structure, such as excitations of the ghost fields, both for discrete-momentum and continuous-momentum states.
