Detailed Description

template<typename Value>
class ThePEG::Helicity::LorentzSpinorBar< Value >

The LorentzSpinorBar class implements the storage of a barred LorentzSpinor.

The design is based on that of the LorentzSpinor class where the details of the implemented are discussed in more detail.

◆ conjugate()

template<typename Value>
LorentzSpinorBar ThePEG::Helicity::LorentzSpinorBar< Value >::conjugate ( ) const

Return the conjugated spinor $u_c=C\bar{u}^T$.

This operation transforms u-spinors to v-spinors and vice-versa and is required when dealing with majorana particles.
