In 1937, Majorana [1] remarked that a possible variant Dirac 4-spinor states [2] of electrically neutral, spin-1/2 particles is that they are their own antiparticles, and suggested that neutrinos may be a realization of this in Nature. Discuss how light neutrinos in the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam Standard Model of the electroweak interaction [3, 4, 5] are excluded by existing data from being Majorana states.
