please see the following conversaytion. he is saying in some point that the anti positron is right chiral and the says its left chiral...
whats right
ParoXoN • 4 years agoVery cool post! Thanks for that :)
I'm a little confused though:
You say towards the end:
"The “anti-positron” (does not interact with the W) is called eR (or sometimes eRc or eR-bar), the right-chiral electron."
But I thought the anti-positron was left-chiral?

Do you agree that there is a conflict between the statements or am I misinterpreting it somehow?
cheers,

Ah, good catch ParoXoN. The positron is right-chiral, and the anti-positron is left-chiral. I've corrected the post (and given credit to you for pointing this out).
Tony and jal: thanks! :-)

Argh this was so confusing! The "summary" contradicts all the text and diagrams before it! I certainly hope the "summary" part was right, because that's what I'm going to stick in my brain.

Hi DK, it's entirely possible that I was sloppy with conventions, I'll try to go over it again when I get a chance... but there's a possibility that I won't get the chance in the near future. -F
