Chiral Matter

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This terminology is rather recent, and we do start with its explanation. Chiral matter are all forms of matter which (1)Include massless (or near-massless) fermions(2)Interact with only vector/axial fields, classically preserving chirality(3)Even include external fields and quantum anomalies (to be discussed below) in which the lifetime of fermion chirality is sufficiently long(4)Last but not least, is a certain imbalance between the occupations of the left- and right-handed fermions that is created initially or even maintained indefinitely, so that (Formula presented.)
