On Spinors and their Transformation

Authors: Anamitra Palit

The Dirac spinor and its transformation properti es form an important part in the foundation of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and of course of pa rticle physics. The Dirac spinor is neither a scalar nor a four vector. It has an identity of its own ---- it is a spinor. The article clearly brings out the fact that the spinor components transform individually on the passage from one reference frame to another though the spinor transformation matrix seems to produce the impression that each component in the transformed frame is created by the interaction of the four spinor components in the original frame. Such issues have been handled in this article.
