Half-angle boost aberration of a null spinor
ID: half-angle-boost-aberration-of-a-null-spinor
The spinor boost changes the component-magnitude ratio by . The associated active positive- Lorentz boost therefore changes the polar half-angle as displayed and leaves azimuth unchanged. Its null-vector time scale changes by , which must be retained separately when normalizing a spinor to encode direction.
