Abstract: (Elsevier)
We present a tomographic scheme, based on spacetime symmetries, for the reconstruction of the internal degrees of freedom of a Dirac spinor. We discuss the circumstances under which the tomographic group can be taken as SU (2), and how this crucially depends on the choice of the gamma matrix representation. A tomographic reconstruction process based on discrete rotations is considered, as well as a continuous alternative.
