Gamma 5 Dirac Matrice: Understanding Pseudo-Scalar

[IRobot]

Hi, i wonder somethin'

when I see that definition of the matrice:
\gamma^5=\gamma^0\gamma^1\gamma^2\gamma^3
I don't see why it is a pseudo-scalar.

If you inspect \gamma^5,you can see that it anti commutes with \gamma^0 (while 0 stands for the time coordinate).
so under space inversion the expression will change it's sign
\psi^{\dag}\gamma^{0}\gamma^5\psi\rightarrow-\psi^{\dag}\gamma^0\gamma^5\psi
and that is a property of a Pseudoscalar

Hum i see, thanks :).
