Abstract
We show that the orthochronous proper Lorentz transformations that preserve the condition z = 0 can be parametrized by (two-component) SU(1, 1) spinors in such a way that the Wigner angle associated with a pair of non-collinear boosts is given by one of the scalar products defined between these spinors
