Two-component spinors are the basic ingredients for describing fermions in quantum field theory in four space-time dimensions. We develop and review the techniques of the two-component spinor formalism and provide a complete set of Feynman rules for fermions using two-component spinor notation. These rules are suitable for practical calculations of cross-sections, decay rates, and radiative corrections in the Standard Model and its extensions, including supersymmetry, and many explicit examples are provided. The unified treatment presented in this review applies to massless Weyl fermions and massive Dirac and Majorana fermions. We exhibit the relation between the two-component spinor formalism and the more traditional four-component spinor formalism, and indicate their connections to the spinor helicity method and techniques for the computation of helicity amplitudes.

The fermion sector of the SMEFT from asymptotically safe gravity
In a toy model of one quark generation, asymptotically safe gravity predicts four-fermion SMEFT coefficients are either Planck-scale suppressed or zero, with exceptions only at very large gravitational coupling.

Universal Seesaw Leptogenesis
Leptogenesis can proceed from single-generation gauge-singlet mediator decays in a Universal Seesaw model if parity is broken in the neutrino sector; the lightest right-handed neutrino is a sub-eV dark-radiation relic.

UV completions of scalar-tensor EFTs
One-loop matching shows heavy spin-0, 1/2, or 1 matter generates explicit Wilson coefficients for scalar-tensor EFTs; shift-symmetric scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity is not produced in this model class, while shift-symmet...

Cosmological Collider Signatures from Right-Handed Neutrino Loop
Right-handed neutrino loops in inflation with seesaw mechanism generate enhanced cosmological collider signatures via a chemical potential from a dimension-5 operator, softening Boltzmann suppression and amplifying os...

The flavour of SU(15) composite quarks and leptons
A hand-imposed hierarchical texture for two flavour spurions fits the SM quark/lepton masses and CKM, and the same spurions make the electron EDM and K0-Kbar0 mixing the strongest probes of the SU(15) preon scale.

The Four Polarizations of the $W$ at High Energies
Polarization interference in intermediate W bosons is generically nonzero even on-shell, can exceed width-over-mass corrections at low energies, and is suppressed at LHC energies; a 2P scheme is proposed to reduce gau...

LFV decays in a 3-3-1 model with singlet leptoquarks
In the 3-3-1 model with a singlet leptoquark, Higgs and Z lepton-flavor-violating decays are nearly proportional to radiative charged-lepton decays, and the model cannot produce large electron and muon magnetic anomal...

An inquiry on the Absence of Fermion Doubling and why the Nielsen-Ninomiya Theorem Does Not Apply to Nonlocal Quantum Field Theory
A continuum nonlocal Dirac operator multiplied by an invertible zero-free entire function has exactly the same kernel and finite-momentum zero set as the ordinary Dirac operator, so fermion doubling is absent.

Searching for neutrino polarizability at DUNE
DUNE's near detector could probe new parameter space for enhanced neutrino polarizability in light-scalar models, mainly through single-forward-shower events from coherent argon scattering.

Exploring Quantum Statistics for Dirac and Majorana Neutrinos using Spinor-Helicity techniques
A spinor-helicity calculation confirms the Dirac-Majorana confusion theorem for the process Φ→l+l-νν when the correct antisymmetrization and full spin sum are used.
