Incompatibility of Self-Charge Conjugation with Helicity Eigenstates and Gauge Interactions

Abstract

In this essay, an {\it ab initio} study of the self/anti-self charge conjugate $(1/2,0)\oplus (0,1/2)$ representation space is presented. Incompatibility of self/anti-self charge conjugation with helicity eigenstates and gauge interactions is demonstrated. Parity violation is seen as an intrinsic part of the self/anti-self charge conjugate construct. From a phenomenological point of view, an essential part of the theory is the Bargmann-Wightman-Wigner-type boson, where a boson and its antiboson carry opposite relative intrinsic parity.
