Description |
The author would share the story of how an entirely new class of fermions came to exist. Despite carrying spin one half, these new fermionic particles cannot be described by the Dirac formalism. They do not engage in interactions with the standard model gauge fields. Their only possible interactions are with the Higgs, and with themselves through a quartic self interaction. The new fermions thus become a first principle dark matter candidate. |
