Encyclopedia of Gamma Matrix Representations?

Hello, I was just curious if anyone knew of a single place with a list of many different gamma matrix representations, I haven't been able to find what I want by just searching google. In particular, I'm looking for a representation of the 5+1 dimensional Clifford algera. In other dimensions it's possible to choose a representation where C=γ_0, and I was wondering if this is possible for the 5+1 dimensional case I'm working with, as it would make my algebra much easier.

Thanks!

You want a Majorana representation, right? Is http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/daviesr/resources/notes/spinors.pdf any help?
 
Thanks, it doesn't answer my specific question, but the representation they give is a little nicer than the one I was working with anyways for my purposes. I appreciate it!
 
I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
