  In 2005, Dharam Ahluwalia and Daniel Grumiller reported an unexpected
theoretical discovery of mass dimension one fermions. These are an entirely new
class of spin one half particles, and because of their mass dimensionality
mismatch with the standard model fermions they are a first-principle dark
matter candidate. Written by one of the physicists involved in the discovery,
this is the first book to outline the discovery of mass dimension one fermions.
Using a foundation of Lorentz algebra it provides a detailed construction of
the eigenspinors of the charge conjugation operator (Elko) and their
properties. The theory of dual spaces is then covered, before mass dimension
one fermions are discussed in detail. With mass dimension one fermions having
applications to cosmology and high energy physics, this book is essential for
graduate students and researchers in quantum field theory, mathematical
physics, and particle theory.
