Evidence for Majorana Neutrinos: Dawn of a new era in spacetime structure
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that Majorana particles belong to the Wigner class of fermions in which the charge conjugation and the parity operators commute, rather than anticommute. Rigorously speaking, Majorana spinors do not satisfy the Dirac equation [a result originally due to M. Kirchbach, which we re-render here]. Instead, they satisfy a different wave equation, which we derive. This allows us to reconcile Stückelberg-Feynman interpretation with the Majorana construct. We present several new properties of neutral particle spinors and argue that discovery of Majorana particles constitutes dawn of a new era in spacetime structure.

Particle-Antiparticle Metamorphosis of Massive Majorana Neutrinos and Gauginos
Recent results on neutrinoless double beta decay, as reported by Klapdor-Kleingrothaus et al., take us for the first time into the realm of Majorana spacetime structure. However, this structure has either been treated as an afterthought to the Dirac construct; or, when it has been attended to in its own right, its physical and mathematical content was never fully unearthed. In this Letter, we u...

A demonstration that the observed neutrinos are not Majorana particles Abstract It is shown that Majorana neutrinos cannot couple vectorially to the neutral-current SU(2) L x U(1) gauge field of the standard model. Since strong evidence for the existence of such a vector coupling in neutral current reactions has recently been presented by the Charm II collaboration, it is unlikely that the obse...
متن کاملماده تاریک آناپولی در مدل استاندارد تعمیم یافته و مدل استاندارد ناجابجایی
In the ADM the dark matters interact with the ordinary matters exclusively through the electromagnetic anapoles. Meanwhile, the only allowed electromagnetic form factor for the spin 1/2 Majorana fermions is the anapole one. We study the electromagnetic interaction of the Majorana neutrinos in non-commutative standard model (NCSM) and the Lorentz violated extension of the standard model (SME). C...

In this study time-dependent and spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein field equations in an anisotropic background with a purely radial tension are presented. There exist three classes of solutions,1) An open spacetime with a wormhole at its center. 2) A conical spacetime. 3) A closed spacetime. These inhomogeneous solutions are reduced to FRW spacetimes in matter-dominated era, as...

A concise discussion of spin-1/2 field equations with a special focus on Majorana spinors is presented. The Majorana formalism which describes massive neutral fermions by the help of two-component or four-component spinors is of fundamental importance for the understanding of mathematical aspects of supersymmetric and other extensions of the standard model of particle physics, which may play an...
