Abstract
A classification of gauge fields in terms of spinors and the rank of a matrix of Lorentz invariants is proposed. A peeling theorem for the Yang-Mills field in the asymptotic limit is shown to follow from an earlier work of Roskies. An analogous theorem is proved for all gauge fields in the geometric optics limit.Keywords
