Spinor azimuth convention

With $X_{12}=x+iy$, a spinor whose components have phases $e^{-i\varphi /2}$ and $e^{i\varphi /2}$ has $x+iy\propto e^{-i\varphi }$, so its physical azimuth is $-\varphi$. The usual positive azimuth for those phases uses $X_{12}=x-iy$. Both conventions are valid if used consistently.
