Majorana: a symmetric theory of the electron and positron

Developed a real-field formulation for neutral spin-one-half particles in which a neutral particle can be identical to its antiparticle, the theoretical construction associated with Majorana fermions.

What is recorded here?

Developed a real-field formulation for neutral spin-one-half particles in which a neutral particle can be identical to its antiparticle, the theoretical construction associated with Majorana fermions.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is Majorana’s sole-author 1937 Italian paper. It does not assert experimental discovery of a Majorana particle, establish that neutrinos are Majorana particles or absorb later condensed-matter quasiparticle proposals and searches.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
