Spin-half fermions with mass dimension one: theory, phenomenology, and dark matter
@article{AhluwaliaKhalilova2005SpinhalfFW, title={Spin-half fermions with mass dimension one: theory, phenomenology, and dark matter}, author={Dharamvir V.

We provide the first details on the unexpected theoretical discovery of a spin-one-half matter field with mass dimension one. It is based upon a complete set of dual-helicity eigenspinors of the charge conjugation operator. Due to its unusual properties with respect to charge conjugation and parity, it belongs to a non-standard Wigner class. Consequently, the theory exhibits non-locality with . We briefly discuss its relevance to the cosmological ‘horizon problem’. Because the introduced…
