Type-4 spinors: transmuting from Elko to single-helicity spinors (1812.07684v3)
Published 18 Dec 2018 in hep-th
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.
