A Majorana fermion (/maɪəˈrɑːnə/), also referred to as a Majorana particle, is a fermion that is its own antiparticle. They were hypothesised by Ettore...

Ettore Majorana (/maɪəˈrɑːnə/, Italian: [ˈɛttore majoˈraːna]; born on 5 August 1906 – likely dying in or after 1959) was an Italian theoretical physicist...

fermions that are their own antiparticle. Particles corresponding to this equation are termed Majorana particles, although that term now has a more expansive...

can be another type of spin  1 /2 particle called Majorana particles, named after the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana who first proposed the concept....

Weyl semimetal Fermionic field Identical particles Kogut–Susskind fermion, a type of lattice fermion Majorana fermion, each its own antiparticle Parastatistics...

This is a list of known and hypothesized particles. Elementary particles are particles with no measurable internal structure; that is, it is unknown whether...

antiparticle, now known as a Majorana particle. In 1939, Wendell H. Furry proposed that if neutrinos are Majorana particles, then double beta decay can proceed...

physics, a subatomic particle is a particle smaller than an atom. According to the Standard Model of particle physics, a subatomic particle can be either a...

Higgs boson, sometimes called the Higgs particle, is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics produced by the quantum excitation...

Wave-particle duality is the concept in quantum mechanics that quantum entities exhibit particle or wave properties according to the experimental circumstances...

detectors. Observation of 0νββ would establish that the neutrino is a Majorana particle and demonstrate violation of lepton number conservation, validating...

the Majorana spinor. There also does not seem to be any particular prohibition to having Weyl spinors appear in nature as fundamental particles. The...

In particle physics, an elementary particle or fundamental particle is a subatomic particle that is not composed of other particles. The Standard Model...

Particle physics or high-energy physics is the study of fundamental particles and forces that constitute matter and radiation. The field also studies...

gravitons. For a spin-½ particle such as the neutralino, being truly neutral implies being a Majorana fermion. Composite particles can also be truly neutral...

In particle physics, the W and Z bosons are vector bosons that are together known as the weak bosons or more generally as the intermediate vector bosons...

In the physical sciences, a particle (or corpuscule in older texts) is a small localized object which can be described by several physical or chemical...

In particle physics, a boson (/ˈboʊzɒn/ /ˈboʊsɒn/) is a subatomic particle whose spin quantum number has an integer value (0, 1, 2, ...). Bosons form...

The Standard Model of particle physics is the theory describing three of the four known fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions...

is a boson whose spin equals zero. A boson is a particle whose wave function is symmetric under particle exchange and therefore follows Bose–Einstein statistics...
