Abstract: In the present paper, the system of 10 equations for Calb – Ramond particle is studied in spherical coordinates. For this particle, in contrast to Maxwell theory, the antisymmetric tensor represents gauge variables, and 4-vector relates to physically observable ones. After separating the variables we get the first order system of 10 radial equations. By diagonalysing the space reflection operator, we get to more simple subsystems of 4 and 6 equations, related to states with parities P = (–1)j+1 and P = (–1)j respectively. For parity P = (–1)j+1 the system of 4 equations has two independent solutions, they both describe two gauge states. For parity P = (–1)j, the system of 6 equations has 2 independent solutions; one of them is purely gauge, and the other includes both observable and gauge variables. Therefore, for Calb – Ramond particle there exist only one physically observable state with spherical symmetry, and three states are gauge ones. Recall that in Maxwell theory, exist 2 physically observable states, and 2 pure gauge states.
