We define a new spin squeezing parameter for entanglement detection that, for large particle numbers, is strictly stronger than the original spin squeezing parameter defined in [A. Sorensen et al., Nature 409, 63 (2001)]. For almost fully polarized states and for large particle numbers, the new parameter equals the old one and has a large noise tolerance. Our new parameter detects unpolarized states, such as symmetric Dicke states, that are not detected by the original spin squeezing parameter. We show that the collective quantities necessary to measure the new parameter can also be used to detect multipartite entanglement in the vicinity of symmetric Dicke states, which is very relevant to recent experiments in cold atoms.
