The discussion centers on the relativistic invariance of theories where only left-handed fields couple in the weak force, specifically in the context of SU(2)L gauge invariance. Participants clarify that chirality, which refers to the intrinsic property of particles, cannot be measured directly as it does not commute with the Hamiltonian (H). The conversation emphasizes the distinction between chirality and helicity, asserting that the designation of "left-handed" is based on interaction properties rather than a measurable characteristic.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, particle physicists, and students studying quantum field theory, particularly those interested in the weak force and gauge invariance concepts.
