According to Ahluwalia and Grumiller, massive spin-half fields of mass-dimension one can be constructed using the eigenspinors of the charge-conjugation operator (Elko) as expansion coefficients. In this paper, we generalize their result by constructing quantum fields from higher-spin Elko. The kinematics of these fields are thoroughly investigated. Starting with the field operators, their propagators and Hamiltonians are derived. These fields satisfy the higher-spin generalization of the Klein…

Symmetries and unitary interactions of mass dimension one fermionic dark matter
The fermionic fields constructed from Elko have several unexpected properties. They satisfy the Klein-Gordon but not the Dirac equation and are of mass dimension one instead of three-half. Starting…
On a local mass dimension one Fermi field of spin one-half and the theoretical crevice that allows it
Since the 1928 seminal work of Dirac, and its subsequent development by Weinberg, a view is held that there is a unique Fermi field of spin one-half. It is endowed with mass dimension three-half.…
A story of phases, duals, and adjoints for a local Lorentz covariant theory of mass dimension one fermions
We introduce a fermionic spin one-half quantum field with eigenspinors of the charge conjugation operator as its expansion coefficients. For the eigenspinors we make a very specific choice of the…

Elko and mass dimension one field of spin one half: causality and Fermi statistics
We review how Elko arise as an extension of complex valued four-component Majorana spinors. This is followed by a discussion that constrains certain elements of phase freedom. A proof is reviewed…

According to the Lounesto classification, there are six classes of spinors. The Dirac and Weyl spinors belong to the first three and the sixth classes respectively. The remaining fourth and fifth…
Mass Dimension One Fermions
