contents The $N$-point energy correlator measures the energy flux through $N$ detectors. We present a general framework that characterizes its full angular dependence in a series of \textit{spinning energy correlators}. These spinning correlators resurrect the angular momentum structure of both the source and the detector configuration, lost otherwise in inclusive measurements. We demonstrate that unitarity and energy positivity confine these correlators to a sharply bounded region, with the boundary realized by extremal correlators generated by pure spin states. We present a first calculation of spinning energy correlators in QCD as well as spinning energy-charge correlators. Their enhanced insensitivity to infrared dynamics opens up a new set of observables that directly probe the hard part of the scattering. Finally, we provide generalized sum rules, extended to spinning correlators and to conserved charges beyond energy.
