The paper argues that Ettore Majorana's 1937 work, not Dirac's hole theory, first provided the canonical quantization of spin-1/2 fields, and proposes using this historical route to teach antimatter at university level.
Mentre una particella dotata di carica elettrica deve essere ben distinta dalla sua anti-particella (e quindi richiede un campo non-hermitiano come quello descritto in sez
