{synonym}
A <closed string> sector with left-moving <Ramond sector> excitations and right-moving <Neveu–Schwarz sector> excitations. Its spacetime states are <fermions>. The <closed-string level matching> condition is $N_L=N_R-1/2$. After the supersymmetric <GSO projection>, the lowest states have $(N_L,N_R)=(0,1/2)$ and give the other massless <gravitino> and <dilatino> of <type II string theory>.
