Spinorial structures, discrete symmetries and some consequences

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss fundamental aspects related to the helicity and dynamics of the spin-1/2 fermions encompassed within the very well-known Lounesto’s classification. More specifically, we investigate how the bi-spinorial structures behave under discrete symmetries, as well as analyze some consequences on the spinors dynamics. In addition, we find an interesting relation between the spinor helicity and the Lounesto spinor classification.
