Abstract:
Continuing our recent argument where we constructed a FNBWW-type spin- boson having opposite relative intrinsic parity to that of the associated antiparticle, we now study eigenstates of the Charge Conjugation operator. Based on the observation that if transforms as a spinor under Lorentz boosts, then transforms as a spinor (with a similar relationship existing between and ; where with the well known Wigner matrix involved in the operation of time reversal) we introduce McLennan-Case type spinors. Relative phases between and , and and , turn out to have physical significance and are fixed by appropriate requirements. Explicit construction, and a series of physically relevant properties, for these spinors are obtained for spin- and spin- culminating in the construction of a fundamentally new wave equation and introduction of Dirac-like and Majorana-like quantum fields.- neutrino: model
