Abstract
- The Weyl neutrino equation is integrated in flat space-time assuming that the energy-momentum tensor of the neutrino field vanishes. It is shown that the flux vector of the neutrino field is tangent to a twist-free and shear-free congruence of null geodesics, which is a special Robinson congruence and constitutes a geometrical representation of a null twistor. It is also shown that, conversely, given such a congruence, a ghost neutrino field can be constructed.
