Both blocks of the given rotation matrix carry the same spin one-half representation, so a stationary spin-up state along the third axis uses the eigenspinor of . At rest , givingFor a massless particle moving along the positive third axis, with , andKeeping the same two-spinor label givesIt has positive helicity and positive chirality in the Weyl representation.
