1305.7509 (Dharam Vir Ahluwalia)

On a local mass dimension one Fermi field of spin one-half and the theoretical crevice that allows it    [PDF]

Dharam Vir Ahluwalia
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. Combined, these characteristics profoundly affect the phenomenology of the high energy physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. We here present a counter example by providing a local, mass dimension one, Fermi field of spin one-half. The theory, inter alia, thus allows dimensionless quartic self interaction for the new fermions, and its only other dimensionless coupling is quadratic in the new fermions and in the standard-model scalar field. For these reasons, the immediate application of the new theory resides in the dark-matter sector of physical reality. The lowest-mass associated new particle may leave its unique signature at the Large Hadron Collider. We discuss in detail the theoretical crevice that allows the existence of the new quantum field.
