Dual-helicity eigenspinors of the charge conjugation operator (ELKO spinor fields) belong, together with Majorana spinor fields, to a wider class of spinor fields, the so-called flagpole spinor fields, corresponding to the class (5),…
In a previous paper we explicitly constructed a mapping that leads Dirac spinor fields to the dual-helicity eigenspinors of the charge conjugation operator (ELKO spinor fields). ELKO spinor fields are prime candidates for describing dark…

We recall the Lounesto classification of 1/2-spin spinor fields, based on the vanishing of spinorial bilinear quantities: the classes are the regular spinor fields (i.e. the Dirac field), as well as singular spinor fields, also known as…
We investigate the constraint equations of the Lounesto spinor fields classification and show that it can be used to completely characterize all the singular classes, which are potential accommodations for further mass dimension one…
In this communication we briefly report an unexpected theoretical discovery which emerge from the mapping of Elko mass-dimension-one spinors into single helicity spinors. Such procedure unveils a class of spinor which is classified as…
The Lounesto classification splits spinors in six classes: I, II, III are those for which at least one among scalar and pseudo-scalar bi-linear spinor quantities is non-zero, its spinors are called regular, and among them we find the usual…
We relate the Lounesto classification of regular and singular spinors to the orbits of the $Spin(3,1)$ group in the space of Dirac spinors. We find that regular spinors are associated with the principal orbits of the spin group while…

A spinor fields classification with non-Abelian gauge symmetries is introduced, generalizing the the U(1) gauge symmetries-based Lounesto's classification. Here, a more general classification, contrary to the Lounesto's one, encompasses…
In this paper we recall that by construction Elko spinor fields of {\lambda} and {\rho} types satisfy a coupled system of first order partial differential equations (csfopde) that once interacted leads to Klein-Gordon equations for the…
In this report we advance into a mapping procedure transmuting a single helicity spinor to a dual helicity spinor. Such a mathematical mechanism reveal us a class of spinor which fits into fourth class within Lounesto classification. The…

The so-called Lounesto's classification engenders six distinct classes of spinors, divided into two sectors: one composed by regular spinors (single-helicity spinors) and the other composed by singular spinors (comprising dual-helicity…
The Lounesto classification is a well-established scheme for categorizing spinors based on their physical content, which are determined by their associated bilinear forms. It consists of six disjoint classes encompassing the known spinors…
