From Dipole spinors to a new class of mass dimension one fermions

Abstract

In this letter, we investigate a quite recent new class of spin one-half fermions, namely \emph{Ahluwalia class-7 spinors}, endowed with mass dimensionality $1$ rather than $3/2$, being candidates to describe dark matter. Such spinors, under the Dirac adjoint structure, belongs to the Lounesto's class-6, namely dipole spinors. Up to our knowledge, dipole spinor fields have Weyl spinor fields as their most known representative, nonetheless, here we explore the \emph{dark} counterpart of the dipole spinors, which represents eigenspinors of the chirality operator.
