Phys. Rev. D 72, 067701 (2005) [4 pages]Dark matter: A spin one-half fermion field with mass dimension one?Received 18 October 2004; published 6 September 2005 We report an unexpected theoretical discovery of a spin one-half matter field with mass dimension one. It is based on a complete set of eigenspinors of the charge conjugation operator. Because of its unusual properties with respect to charge conjugation and parity, it belongs to a nonstandard Wigner class. Consequently, the theory exhibits nonlocality with (CPT)2=-I. Its dominant interaction with known forms of matter is via Higgs, and with gravity. This aspect leads us to contemplate it as a first-principle candidate for dark matter. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
