Type-4 spinors: transmuting from Elko to single-helicity spinors
arXiv:1812.07684 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-6832-2
Abstract
In this communication we briefly report an unexpected theoretical discovery which emerge from the mapping of Elko mass-dimension-one spinors into single helicity spinors. Such procedure unveils a class of spinor which is classified as type-4 spinor field within Lounesto classification. In this paper we explore the underlying physical and mathematical contents of the type-4 spinor.
