helisel

Helisel is a theoretical concept in particle physics that describes a hypothetical type of elementary particle. The term is derived from "helix," suggesting a particle with a spiral or helical structure in some aspect of its properties. While not a standard term in established physics models, it has appeared in speculative research and theoretical frameworks exploring beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.

The precise nature and proposed properties of helisels can vary depending on the specific theoretical context. Some proposals suggest that a helisel might possess an intrinsic angular momentum or spin that is not a simple scalar value but rather a more complex, directional property akin to a spatial twist. This could potentially lead to unique interactions or decay modes not observed with known particles.

Research into helisels is largely theoretical and aims to address potential gaps or extensions to current particle physics understanding. These concepts are often explored in the context of theories like string theory or other unified field theories, where new particles and symmetries are frequently posited. There is currently no experimental evidence to confirm the existence of helisel particles. Their study remains within the realm of theoretical physics, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of fundamental constituents of the universe.
